Thanks for being a friend Elroy. Everytime you came home to Texas you would stop by our small radio station (KULM) just to say hi. That meant so much to me. You are missed!

A bright and shining light has been extinguished - but never forgotten. We will always remember your fun stories and engaging laugh. I am so proud I was able to work with you for awhile, but prouder yet that we were friends. Love and miss you always.
