He was an extremely hard worker. He enjoyed farming, mowing grass, and riding his golf cart and his hands were strong from all the hard work he performed. Elden enjoyed watching game shows and many travelers as they passed by his farm on 11&15. He held a special place in his heart for his little dog “Maxine” with whom he adored. Elden set the bar really high as an example for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of what a Godly, compassionate Christian man was.
