He also played baseball at Appalachian State University and was the baseball, basketball, and football coach at Rural Hall High School in the mid 1950's. As an excellent and avid golfer, he enjoyed kidding around with his golfing buddies.

Eller, Joe (Carole) Eller of North Wilkesboro, N.C. Respecting our father's wishes, there will not be a service. We will celebrate his life by remembering the lessons he taught us, his willingness to help, and his patience in listening to whatever we wanted to talk about.
