Fedun
Eldon Fedun, SD'81, passed away September 24, 2000, following brief but courageous battle with renal cell carcinoma.

Born in Myrnam, Alberta, Canada to Anna and Mike Fedun, he worked on the family farm until he attended Canadian Union College. He moved to Los Angeles in 1961 where he began working at White Memorial Medical Center, and continued his education. It was at White Memorial that he met Paula Cook, who was then a nursing student. They were married in Arizona in September, 1967.

The Feduns moved to Loma Linda in 1969 where he was employed by Loma Linda University Medical Center, supervising the radiation oncology department. He became certified in x-ray technology, nuclear medicine, radiographic oncology. He was also licensed in docemitry.

He received a bachelor of science degree from LLU in 1970, and completed his dental education in 1981. He practiced dentistry for 18 years in San Bernardino.

He was a member of the Tri-County Dental Society, the California Dental and American Dental Associations, the American Academy of Dental Radiology, as well as the School's Century Club.

Dr. Fedun was a member of the University Church of Seventh-day Adventists.

A passionate gardener and an avid participant in San Bernardino Community Gardens, he worked with community gardeners and volunteers to produce and distribute vegetables to local shelters and residents in need.

During his memorial service, he was remembered and honored as a "beloved husband, devoted father, endearing son, wonderful brother, very proud grandpa, compassionate dentist, respected colleague, and faithful friend."

He is survived by his wife, Paula, three daughters: Michelle Ankrum of Yucaipa, Monica Sauser of Loma Linda, and Lora Fedun of Banning; a granddaughter, Lauren Ankrum; grandson Tyler Ankrum, his mother, Anna Fedun, and a brother, Ed Fedun, of Alberta, Canada.
