Dad grew up in a large family surrounded by lots of children and
commotion just as he loved it. Spoiling us five kids and cherishing
his 11 grandchildren along with his 12 great grandchildren was his
number one priority. He would never let you leave without a dollar or
two pressed into your hand and a belly full of warm food. Generous to
a fault, he was a simple man who loved his Boston Bruins and watching
hockey and in his younger years he played baseball and was a star fast
pitcher. Eldon also enjoyed curling and playing cards anywhere,
anytime and with anyone who thought they could beat him. He was a
lover of all his country music too and although he stopped loving all
of us today, his legacy will live on in the eternal love he taught us
all to give in our wonderful family. He will be sadly missed.
Although there will be no visiting or formal service, a celebration
of his life will be celebrated at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #
40 in St. George NB on Thursday November 15, 2018 from 2-7 pm. In
Eldon’s memory, donations to the Charlotte County Cancer Society,
Diabetes Association of New Brunswick or a charity of the donors
choice would be appreciated by the family.
