I always enjoyed Eldon. Use to see him all the time at the Senior Center when I'd delivery the Box Lunches on Wednesday. Really a nice guy. Sorry I will be out of town on Monday.
Lucille- Want you and your family to know we are thinking about you at this time. Heard the bad news when we returned from vacation. Will always remember Eldon's smiling face. Always ready to help anyone.
Lucille and family-So sorry for your loss. We were in the same neighborhood a long time ago. He was always nice, the last times we talked was at McDonalds. Nettie and Ralph
