A SISTER of the late Basil Elliott has paid tribute to her supportive big brother, who she described as an “absolute gentleman”. Basil (79), a resident of Meadow View Care Home, formerly of Fairview Avenue, Enniskillen, passed away peacefully on December 7 after contracting Covid-19 following a long period of ill-health. Describing Basil as an “absolute gentleman”, Anne Elliott-King spoke highly of her late brother, who was like a “father-figure” to her and her two sisters. “He was very supportive to us all; we couldn’t have asked for better. He was always there,” she said, adding: “Some years ago, I went through breast cancer chemo and radiotherapy, and when I was alone in the house he would have come out and just sat in the house just to be there in case I needed him.”
