We just heard about the sudden loss of Dennis Roberts, Elvis’s optician. Dennis owned the Optique Boutique where Elvis bought over 400 pair of customized sunglasses with the TCB lightning bolt on both sides. Dennis also prided himself with making some of the TCB necklaces for Elvis. According to his biography, Elvis placed his first TCB around his neck and asked him to make “12 exactly identical necklaces”, which he did. No further details are known at this stage.
