Eldred worked 35 years for the Cold Spring Granite Company as a crane operator and enjoyed his hobby farm.
He cherished spending time with his family and friends. More than anything, he loved spending time with his grandchildren whether it was playing cards, board games or attending their events.
Eldred enjoyed the outdoors, such as gardening, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and cutting wood. He loved his trips to the casino!
He will be remembered for his witty sense of humor and being a prankster. He liked the simple things in life. Eldred instilled a hard work ethic to his children and those around him. He was a great husband, father and grandfather, who will be missed forever.
