My condolence to my cousins after I have learned of the passing of your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather while I am working on my hobby of genealogy.  Eldon's mother was a Philbrick (and my grandaunt). I am hoping a family will find this and make contact with me at mphilbrick52@gmail.com

As the days and weeks pass and as we return to life's routine are hearts are filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together. We will cherish the memories forever and they will carry us through.

Ilove you and miss you both so much,give each other a hug and kiss from me.I am hanging in there,but my days are hard sometimes.I lost all my love ones and no one to talk too or tell i need help.
     IN MY HEART AND SOUL
        LOVE LOTS KAY

I love you Dad!  It is just not the same without you.  I miss you!

God, our Father, walk through the houses of all Eldon and Bert's family and take away all the pain, illnesses and all there worries. Please watch over and heal our family in Jesus name, Amen

I miss you Daddy, I know you are with Mom and you are well.  I had your services Dad just like we planned, it was beautiful Dad just like we planned. There were a few little bumps but nothing took away my love and admiration for you, and I could feel your love for me and my (our) family just as strong there as I have felt it all my life. I miss you Daddy. I love you.

My Dearest Daddy, Father, Friend and my honory honory Dad. Life was always the best with you, thank you. You have always been in my life, a huge part of my life, thank you. You will always be in my life, guiding me, helping me, and most of all loving me, thank you Daddy.

Rest in perfect peace Mr. Kirkendall..  "Papa". 
I never got to meet you in person, but through your legacy of children and grandchildren I've had the priviledge and honor of learning from the heart of what you meant to them and how your presence on earth changed their very lives. I found great joy, maybe the same joy you brought to their hearts while listening to their stories of great love and laughter that you shared with them. As if you were heaven sent to make life all the better for all surrounding you. It's been an honor to get to know you through them, as they shine your great love legacy through them. May you find renewal and true rest in the arms of our Creator. I'm sure I will meet you some day, just in a better place than earth. 
Mt deepest sympathy and condolences, along with All my Love to you and yours, may God's Hand be upon all your loved ones giving them divine strength and peace to endure through this great loss.
And p.s. "Papa", thank you for sharing your van with me!
 Love, Darlene Mercure ;D

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.  Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. I'll miss you my friend, I love you, you were the best, God bless you and my thoughts and prayers are with your family... Gloria (dupont)

Grandpa, You will be missed by everyone that knew you. You were a wonderful Grandpa and an even better Great Grandpa. Thank you for sharing so many special moments in all of our lives. All our love...Dani, Cory, Cole, Connor, and Megan

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands laid to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. Thank you Sheila, Dave, Tera, Chuck, and Brittany for all you did for Eldon my prayers are with you.

I sure do Love You and will miss you lots.My thoughts and prayers are with the family and many friends.
