Eldon worked for Goddard-White Auto Parts for 38 years, and was the Administrator of the Moberly Moose Lodge for 11 years. He was a member of the Jefferson Avenue United Methodist Church. He made many friends through all of these. Eldon had numerous health issues over the last 15 years; but he always seemed to bounce back, until his stroke around 3 years ago. He never did regain full strength. He recently contracted pneumonia and some other infections which weakened him a great deal; and he just wasn’t able to overcome them this time. He was a kind and gentle man who will be missed by his family, friends, and neighbors.
