Eldon was a real pleasure to work around. Always joking or having something funny to say.

Elfin was just the sweetest man. I met him driving for DART and he was always helpful. I’ve never met anyone that had EVERYTHING ever needed in his van. Loved him and will miss him. Prayers to his family

Dawn, Todd,
You both have my condolences. I am fortunate that I had an opportunity to meet your father Dawn. He was a really nice person and I know you will cherish the memories that you have of him.
