We were sorry to hear about the passing of Eldon. I used to ride back and forth to work with him at American Greetings. He had an old Volkswagen and had to work on it every couple of days. He was always soft spoken and had a gentle demeanor. We know he will be missed by many.

Dear Patsy and girls, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I can just see Terry standing there anxiously waiting for his dad, completely healed.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Sending you all love and prayers.
