Eldon is my beloved Uncle.  He was a kind & generous man who loved God, his family & his country.  He grew up in Iowa on a farm just outside of Des Moines.  He lived there for many years helping take care of the land his parents Hazel & Clifford Cooper farmed.  Our family remembers when as a soldier he went off to fight in the Korean war.  We were thrilled when he returned to us safely after the war.  I have so many wonderful memories of our times spent on the farm.  All of the events of farm life are very vivid  in my mind. Milking the cows my grandparents had.  Harvesting the hay from the fields and neighbors  showing up to help.  A big lunch feast on the yard for all the people who came to help.  Seeing my grandfather & uncles on the tractors plowing the fields & taking their lunch to them in the field with my grandmother.  Getting a ride on the big red Farmall tractor when I was maybe 8 or 9 yrs old.  Helping my grandmother hunt the eggs from the chicken house.  She would never get pecked by the chickens but everytime I put my hand in to get an egg the chicken would peck me.   I remember a mean rooster who would chase my brother’s & sisters around the yard.  We were terrified of that rooster.  Also once when my grandpa came running to the house to tell us all to stay inside because one of the Bulls had gotten out & sure enough the bull chased my grandfather around until they got him & put him back in the pen where he couldn’t hurt anyone.  Such a good life on our grandparents farm.  So much love and life lessons learned there.  All of it included my Aunts & Uncles &  Mom ( the oldest child) , my Grandparents.  They are all gone now and the legacy has passed on to me & my brother who are the first & oldest grandkids.  I love you Uncle Eldon... RIP
