My name is Jill Churchman Wall and I worked with Eldon for years at Capitol Federal. He is one of God’s finest creations.
I still have poems and his drawings he made for me. We were Assistant managers together and managed to create laughter
at all our “serious” manager meetings. He was so kind and has the best sense of humor. I have memories of Eldon that
I will always cherish. He was my friend.
I will always remember his face when I gave him a signed picture of Carolyn Grimes..Zuzu from IT’s A Wonderful Life for his 60th birthday.
He was thrilled….I am so glad. We worked together at the College Blvd. branch where he was Asst. Manager and I was
opening accounts and working on consumer loans. He was so helpful in my training. I am unable to attend today because of
health issues but I will be there in spirit and will always carry Eldon’s memory with me. My prayers for Martha and all his family.
Rest in Peace, Eldon
