One of the Kindest people I have ever known. A true friend and I am a better person from my association with him.

My deepest sympathy to the Eiland family for this loss. Mr. Eiland was a beloved attorney for Logan County and a personal friend to me for many years as well as his lovely wife Evelyn and son, Pete. My deepest prayers also to his law partner of many years, John W. Bennett, and his secretary, my Aunt, Nancy Kirkendall. I know this is a tremendous loss for you both and my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
