Huard Hargis Eldridge

Mrs. Eldridge,
I was very sad to read about the passing of Mr. Eldridge. What a nice gentleman and always had a smile! He was always so pleasant and courteous to me, my family, and employees. I am so glad I got to know him. I know you are filled with great memories. May God bless Mr. Eldridge and may God bless you during this time of sadness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Many fun and fond memories of Huard.... a special neighbor on Park Hill....a totally wrapped mummy at a Halloween street party.
I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face.

Ed DeWees counted Huard as one of his dearest friends, and I did too! He had many talents, but at the top of the list was his friendly smile and readines to greet his friends. Much love to you, Marilyn, and to all your family, Becky.

Dear Marilyn,
I have such fond memories of you and Huard, always remember both your happy smiles. I know that you both had a happy life together! Blessings and prayers for you.

I have known Huard since high school (where he and Barbara were classmates) and always considered him a good friend, although we haven't seen much of each other for quite a few years. We were at UT Austin at the same time (majoring in beer drinking) and we enlisted in the Army together on the same day in 1954 (much to the consternation of our parents). We were shipped off to Fort Bliss for basic training and then were sent to duty stations, he to Germany and I to Seattle. That 2-year experience is where we both "grew up!" What a wonderful outlook on life he had; I don't believe I ever saw him lose his cool and he made friends with just about everyone he came across. We will miss him and send our thoughts and prayers to Marilyn and his family.

So sad, Marilyn. Will miss that always smiling face and happy man. God Bless your family. Libba

Marilyn,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Huard's passing. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. God bless,

Columbus and Paula Stutes
