He served in the United Coast Guard during WWII. He retired from Seneca Beverage. Retirement was not for him, and he went to work at Walmart in Virginia until he needed to be home to be a caretaker to his wife. He was a man who loved and enjoyed his family, and he liked to joke. In his younger days, he loved fishing. He was loved and will be missed by all. McEwen Funeral Home of Monroe is honored to serve the family of Mr. Eells.
