Eldon touched each of us individually, in so many ways. He found joy in the simplest things, and in doing so, taught us to appreciate those little moments that make life so beautiful. With his humor, light, and infectious laugh that was easily identified no matter where you were in the room. Even in the face of adversity, he remained hopeful, resilient, positive. His spirit was not just an inspiration, it was a force, a beacon, a guiding light. As we bid farewell to Eldon today, we are not just mourning his absence, but celebrating his life, his spirit, his legacy.
