Elroy's love and infatuation with music included his participation in a few singing groups, including a number of church choirs and male groups. Members of his church called him the "Mic Man" because he always wanted the microphone in his hand, whether he was singing, humming, or harmonizing. Whether it was the emotional songs that could bring about joy or his gifts and talents for singing and his nostalgia for music, Roy's love for music cannot be understated. Elroy was also a member of several clubs, "Poo-Poo Daddy's" and "69 Plus." Music played a definitive role in every stage of Elroy's life. Elroy, affectionately known as "Roy", "Unc" "El" "Uncle El" was the life of the party. Roy was a light in the eyes of all who knew him.

Elroy spent countless hours watching sporting events and listening to games on the radio, as well as listening to radio talk shows. Elroy took a keen interest in crosswordpuzzles and could complete them with precision at a very fast pace. Above all else, Elroy took extreme delight in talking to people and was an avid jokester. He enjoyed discussing world events, economic issues, matters of the heart, and society. Even through Elroy's illness, his genuine humor and lightheartedness did not falter.
