I am sitting here looking at Elroy''s picture and remembering all the good times we had,so many memories, so little time, I may have not seen him in the last few years, but to me he always reminded me of John Wayne, when I do go to Horicon I always looked for him walking as that''s what he always did. Or when my mom was alive and I happened to be visiting he would walk by the house and stop and talk. I guess this day was coming eventually but I still can''t believe it, My sympathies go out to all you Cindy, Patti, Stanley, Randy and soon, Elroy had so many that liked and loved him. The world has truly lost a good person,with deepest sympathies lee Ann & Franny and his great grandchildren here in Beaver Dam & Paul Lehman, Take care and God Bless....................
