While Eli Chalouh always enjoyed sharing a joke with friends, he had a serious side as well. His friends and family members call him a hard-worker who was driven by an incredible desire, and ability, to achieve. His brother Victor remembers how Eli would work an eight-hour shift as a stock boy, then go to night school from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and finally return home to hours more study. And the work paid off. Eli Chalouh only recently graduated from Long Island University with an accounting degree, and honors. "He's a very persistent boy," his brother says. "He knows his goal in life. He tried to use every minute in his life. And he achieved something. We miss him very much. What can you do?"
