I will miss Elroy. A hard worker but a fun guy to be around. Great story teller! When I was in Marketing at the Tractor Works, he and I worked on several shows and other assignments together. He could make me laugh at his stories and all the while he'd keep a straight face while telling them! I wish the family well by offering my condolences. I'm sure the family has many, many happy memories which Elroy blessed them with.
