Eldon was passionate about his many hobbies, and fishing was at the top of the list! He enjoyed fishing anytime and anywhere, he enjoyed tying flies and he even had a special fly named for him. Eldon was also a dedicated gardener, an inventive craftsman, a tinkerer, and a prolific reader. One of the most enjoyable pleasures of the past several years was going trap shooting with his good friend, Gale.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Connie McBride, 3 siblings, Neal, Dennis and Susan, his son Shawn, his granddaughters Zoe, Mary, Lily, and Mello, and several stepchildren and their families.
