Eldon E. Mosher, 84, passed away Monday (Nov. 6, 2017) at Highland Hospital in Rochester following a lengthy illness.
     
Mr. Mosher was born on May 26, 1933 in Westfield, Pa. to Bernard and Ruth (Griffin) Mosher. He served in the United States Army from 1954-55.  On Sept. 15, 1956 he married Helen Reynolds, who predeceased him on Jan. 22, 2015.
     
Eldon enjoyed a varied working career. He was a mechanic for Rush-Henrietta School District from 1966 to 1974. He later worked for Joyce Pipeline in Andover before retiring in 1985. In addition to these, he was a mechanic for A.L. Blades in Hornell and was a part-time school bus driver for Andover Central School. At one time he owned several gas stations in Rochester and owned and operated Al's Auto Parts in Andover.
     
Eldon is survived by two daughters, Betty Anne (Douglas) Lown of Canaseraga and Kathleen Reynolds of Andover; a son-in-law, George "Mike" Gavin of Andover; one brother, Melton Mosher of Rochester; one sister, Anna Pentycofe of Rochester; four grandchildren, Ryan (Danielle) Lown of  Dansville, Lacey (Travis) Dieter of Nunda, Amber (Brian Benka) Reynolds of Erie, Pa. and Seth Reynolds of Andover; one grand son-in-law, Jeremiah Willard of Olean; four great grandchildren, Kennedy Willard, Noah Willard, Benton Lown and Wesley Dieter; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
     
In addition to his wife, he was predeceased by a daughter, Jacqueline Gavin; one brother, Ellery Mosher; one sister, Wilda Fuller; and one granddaughter, Tiffany Willard.
     
Eldon loved the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, snowmobiling, and motorcycling. He also loved anything with a motor and spent many enjoyable hours tinkering on cars. To him, Mopar parts were the only parts to use. When he wasn't outdoors, you could find him playing cards or bingo. Trolling auctions and playing lottery tickets were also favorite activities. In his later years, Eldon savored visiting with friends and family, and monitoring the local traffic from his front porch.
     
Visiting hours will be on Thursday from 12- 2 p.m. at Baker-Swan Funeral Home in Andover. The funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. with Fr. John Cullen of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Canasaraga as celebrant. Burial with full military honors will follow in Hillside Cemetery. 
     
Memorial contributions in Eldon's name may be made to the Canaseraga Fire Department, 10 Main Street, Canaseraga, NY 14822.
