So sorry to hear of Eldon's passing. I had corresponded with Eldon several years ago about our common family history - he was very generous and helpful with his knowledge and insight.

It was a privilege to know Eldon. He always had a kind word for everyone. A great father and husband he was an example for everyone who knew him. Our family feels honored to have been among his friends
