Elroy enjoyed the challenge of any handy task. He loved helping others with projects, whether it be working on a car, a plumbing issue, or just about anything else that needed attention. His hobbies included cooking (potato pancakes were his specialty), woodworking, and fixing old clocks. He was an avid walker, and looked forward to his daily walks to Copp's to chat with employees, as well as residents he grew to know along the way.
He was preceded in death by his wife: Betty; and a son: Dennis. He is survived by his children: Donna, Mike (Lori), Mark (Katie), David (Deanna), Daniel, and a number of grandchildren. There will be a private memorial services.

I am one of the Copps employees who talked to Elroy every day I seen him. He was a great guy and I enjoyed our talks. He told me about his family, his hobbies and how he was taking care of his wife while she was sick. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
