History of Eustace Lloyd Acuff written by Coleene Acuff Huddlestun, his niece. (See Coleene Acuff Huddlestun Notes): Eustace Lloyd Acuff died in the North Fort Myers retirement home, March 3, 1985. He had lived there about nine months. My sisters and I had been given the responsibility of caring for him shortly after the story was written. We kept him after the cataract surgery till he could go back to his little house. When he would not eat properly or care for himself, we convinced him that a retirement home would be best. Always having lived alone, he had difficulty adjusting to living there. It took him several months to learn to trust people. He enjoyed the food and the loving care. We took him to visit his little house or for a ride each week. He was happy and we all enjoyed his droll sense of humor. When he died he had a lovely funeral attended by all the other residents of the retirement home, four people from his church, Uncle Rupert's children, my mother and aunt, my sisters and their husbands, and one of my sisters' daughters, and one of mine. He had been sent many beautiful flowers, and he would have been proud of the things said of him. He would have been proud to get so much attention. At our Thanksgiving reunion last year (1984), he had looked around and said, "This is my family? I didn't know I had so many"
