Frank Eldredge Obituary
Frank served as a Seneca County Sheriff's deputy for 28 years, and spent the last year enjoying retired life, traveling the country with his beloved wife Char and his Frenchies. Throughout his life he had served as a volunteer fireman, a scuba search and rescue diver, a k-9 unit leader, a school resource officer, and piloted the use of drone technology within Seneca County. Frank was an active volunteer in his community and touched the lives of many. He was well known for his sense of humor and his willingness to help others. The laughter and positive energy that followed him will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his loving wife Charlene Eldredge; his loving children, Frank jr, Bailey and Crystal; four grandchildren; and his sister Louann Eldredge; as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
He is predeceased by his mother Betty Eldredge.
A Celebration of Life Ceremony is planned at the Seneca Falls Country Club on Thursday (November, 16) at 5 p.m.

Extending my sympathies to Franks family. As a young man Frank worked for me at the car wash in Geneva. I recall reading of his retirement, and now of his untimely passing. How life can change in a fleeting moment. His contributions and dedication to Seneca County doesn´t surprise me, as Frank was a model employee during his time with our company. Rest In Peace my dear friend.

To all of Frank's family. We are in shock and so saddened to learn of Frank's passing. Yes, he did make a great cheecake as we always got one each Thanksgiving and Christmas. Frank was always a gentleman and was there to help you out and he did not matter what it was. There was a lot of enjoyment when you were in his company and yes a lot of laughs and busting. Frank will be greatly missed by his family and his many, many friends. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
