    Dear Elizabeth and Family: We are so sad to hear of the passing of your husband, dad and grandad. Eldridge spent many nights with us at Trepassey Motel while working for NL Power. We had many chats sitting around in the evenings after supper. He was always very pleasant and respectful and spoke lovingly of his family whom he dearly loved. We are thinking of you all at this very difficult time. Rest in Peace Eldridge. Jerome and Mary Devereaux
