Not sure what to say?

W loved this guy! We started out as neighbors in Sandy, Utah. We bonded immediately! Elray and I argued over politics and any other thing that would get each other's goat! Janet and Craig would just smile and wave! We decided to paint our house and we thought we would try our shed first. Elray came over and OH NOI am not going to live next to somebody with a PINK house. Actually, he was so right and we toned down the color from Pepto Bismo Pink to Desert Sand! Elray approved!

Jan and family
We are so sorry to hear about Elray. He was such a good person and a great neighbor. he had integrity and a lot of class. You could tell he enjoyed his life and loved you and his family so much. He will be missed.

Dear Jan & family, it has been an honor knowing all of you in AZ. We will forever miss Rowdy, our talks, our Tequila sharing, his estate & garage sale buys, our dinners out, his sharing of Group ons, our talks about politics, reminiscing, sharing movies, sharing cacti plantings, oh my gosh the list goes on & on. Our hearts ache with yours. Rest in peace my friend and be the angel on our shoulders. Love, Carol & Tom

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
