My deepest sympathy to Ann and family on Eldon’s passing. You are in my prayers!
Ann,Karl, and Carrie,
We are so very sorry. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Words cannot express the way Eldon’s passing had on me. He was my friend that was not only my hunting and fishing partner but also was someone I could talk with about almost anything. We had plans to do more of the same after retirement. My heart goes out to his family and I want to say thank you to Karl for calling and letting me know of his passing. He will be missed by many as he was a great man.
Ann, Carrie and Karl ~ Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of your husband and father. Eldon was such a caring and giving man in the life of FHUMC Car Care and he will be missed. Peace be with you all.
