Eldon will be missed by all who knew him. He touched many lives, and was a great servant to all. I have many memories of the Kiwanis events that he worked side by side with dad. I will especially remember the days at the Mount Evans scope building project and all of the 4th of July's spent at Jeffco fairgrounds.
My prayers and condolences to the entire family.
