Eldon Adkins Obituary

We still speak of you all the time and miss you always. Hard to believe how many have joined you since then. We love you all and miss you Grandpa. Donna and Steve Kohler

I still miss you very much,but am glad that you do not need to be concerned about my illness as I know you would be really worried.
Love you, Judy

JAN 14
I cannot believe that a year has passed since you have been taken from us. I miss you very much dad and was distraught that I was not with you when you passed away. All the sadness you experienced in the nursing home is over and you can finally rest in peace . The graveside ceremony last May was very comforting and honored your proud military service.
You are always in my thoughts and I wish I could hear your kind voice always wishing me well. i LOVE YOU.

I can't believe a whole year has went by. I think of you often. I miss you grandpa. Love, Donna

It's been a year and I still feel your presence in the home. It's a good feeling and helps my moods. Thank you, dear. Love, Georgia

Our thoughts are with you Georgia. Tom was a fine man with a great sense of humor. He will be missed.

All my memories of my Grandpa are good ones and I'm really glad he was around as long as he was. You will be missed for a long time by many.

Judith, I know how devoted you were to your father and how important he was to you. You have talked about him so often to me that I feel I know him. He was as fortunate to have you as a daughter as you were to have him as a father. Shirley Pearl

Like Sue Hansen, I first met Tom those many, many years ago when he came out to California to visit Jan and his granddaughters. He was truly one of the finest men I have ever met. My heart goes out to his family at this sorrowful time, but I know he is finally at peace. My deepest condolences.....

My condolences Jan to you and your family. Please know that he is no longer suffering and you will see him again.

Tommy, dear, your presence is still in the house, and will be for some time, I hope. I was so sick with a virus the last 2 weeks of your life the "home" told me to stay away. I deeply apologize but I am very happy your daughter, Judy, took over my place next to your bed. The last time I saw you was January 5, thank heaven! I'll see you soon, and love you forever. Your wife, Georgia

I never met Tom but feel like I know him through Jan. I know his presence will be missed by all. He left a great legacy, and a wonderful family. I know he will live on through them!

Thank you. You made such a huge difference in our lives and I know my family has been truly blessed because of the love you and Mom shared for these past 33 years. Peace be with you, Tom. I will forever miss your kind, gentle, funny, caring presence in our lives. All my love.

We first met Tom when he came out to California to visit with his daughter Jan and her children Donna and Barbara. And then he took the time to come to the airport in St. Paul when we were traveling through Mn., to visit with us. He was a kind and wonderful man and we enjoyed our visits with him immensely. It was an honor to be considered his friend. He will be missed.

Tom was a lovely, gentle man and a real pleasure to visit with. Our sympathies go out to Georgia and all of his family. May your faith and your memories bring comfort.

Very few achieve 90 plus yrs and few deserve it more then Tom its an honor to have known you rest in peace

I miss you Grandpa. I was so happy to have spent so much time with you. Thank you for always setting the right example. I love you.

Tom was a wonderful stepfather to a bunch of stepkids who needed his presence. I know that I'll miss his sense of humor and his steadiness in our lives.

Missing you poppa. Give 'em hell and I'll see you again some day.

Our prayers and good will go out to you and your family in its time of loss!--Bob and Susan

Miss you and love you gramps. Wish we could have seen you more, but you were always in our thoughts. We love you.

I miss you dad. I am happy I able to spend so much time with you in your final days. I love you
