I had the honour to work as a member of staff at the Board of Deputies during Eldred's presidency. I will always remember the kindness and respect he gave to all of us who worked there, no matter how junior and how he took the time to take me out to lunch at one of his favourite restaurants near the Board offices. Working in the Public Affairs Department and dealing with what appeared to be one crisis after another, I was always struck by the calm Eldred exuded even when, in my mind at least, there were multiple fires to put out. Eldred was a man guided by the highest values, love of family and commitment to the Jewish community. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to work under him.
I wish Eldred's family a long life. May his memory be a blessing.
