He worked for Hoegemeyer Hybrids and was a ringman for Marreel and Associates as well as Olson Pearson Auctioneers for many years. Eldon followed his kids and grandkids ballgames for many years including helping coach from time to time. He loved to play cards, fish, bowl, travel, and have coffee with the guys. Eldon never met a stranger and always shared his sense of humor with all.
