Saddened to see Uncle Elroy's passing. He was the last of his generation of my uncle and aunts on my mother's side of the family. Remember his love of trucks and all machinery with motors. Believe his garage was his "happy place" and Uncle Elroy loved to share it with any one stopping by. His children were devoted and stayed so involved in his life with family dinners and the care and attention they showed him. May he rest in peace and drive the largest piece of machinery heaven has to offer.

I'll always remember his love of driving all vehicles.....from his antique light green car to hauling his Grandchildren with his lawn tractor trailer. He was a crack mechanic & always gave us his opinion on cars we were thinking of buying. I'll miss his smile.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
