Eldon was unlike any friend I have ever had. We became friends at the Orange Senior Center while I was Miss Orange. As I played piano, he would make his way over to the bench and sing along with me. It made me look forward to volunteering. 

Over the years, he would share stories of his life which I treasured. He would also share his love of photography with me. Whenever we got together, I would be sure to bring photos of us to add to scrapbooks. 

We just had lunch in August and this news breaks my heart.  My condolences to the family. Eldon, I will miss you dearly. 

When I first move into Eldons neighborhood a neighbor  mentioned to Eldon that I was having trouble with having enough food for my family....magically, every week a crate of food was quietly dropped off at my door...I just knew it was Eldon. I would sneak over at night and put the crate back on his porch. The following week, the crate would reappear full. This went on until Eldon was unable to drive. At that point I started going over with extra food that I had and we would share what each of us had extra of.  What a kind person Eldon was. I am so saddened by his passing, however it was an honor to be his friend. RIP Eldon
