He is survived by his sister, Madeline (Lee) Gardner, brother-in-law, Terry, his niece, Terri Michelle Gardner, and a very dear friend, Evelyn Blass.
Elton retired from the Secretary of States Office where he was employed for more than 40 years. He enjoyed day trips and lunches with his friends, Tim, Larry, Les, Susan, and of course Evelyn. Elton loved going to Branson at Christmas, to Orange Beach in the summer, to the casinos and was so excited to go on his first airplane trip to Las Vegas. Elton was a special person with a gentle soul and will be deeply missed.

Those of us at Quapaw Quarter UMC, the church across the street from where Elton lived, miss him! For YEARS, we had frequent sidewalk conversations, friendly waves hello and goodbye, and would compare notes on neighborhood happenings. We sometimes shared potluck meals. Elton was a good neighbor, a gentle soul, and we counted him as an integral part of our community. We are grateful to have known him. Our prayers are with his family and with Evelyn.

I am so saddened to read this. Elton gave me comfort from afar when he would come out of his apartment building and wave to me and watch as I delivered food to the kitchen at the church across the street. I was there when he was leaving and he waved then, too. He sure will be missed.
