Elroy was a wonderful man. I always enjoyed our talks especially at the American Legion in Byron. We shared the love of riding Harleys. He was a smart, hard working man who helped the City of Byron to be a thriving, prosperous city.  He will be missed by many!

Occasionally, as we journey through our time in this life, we meet individuals who uplift, bring and share joy, and generally make the world a better place simply by being themselves.  Elroy was such a person.  He was a joy to know and we will miss him.

I am so sorry to learn of Elroy?s passing. Myrna, I can remember when you first started dating him and him being at some of our holidays at your mom and dads. Together you two accomplished so much. I know you and your family will miss him, but I hope loving memories will comfort you. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and know you are in my thoughts.

Bessler Family my condolences in hearing about the loss of Elroy. He was one of my favorite people. Always made me smile and kept me on my toes. I?m sure he?s finding a way to cause trouble up there already and looking down with a mischievous smile. So sorry this Covid mess is getting in the way of honoring him appropriately. His life was one to be celebrated. Wishing you all peace.

Sandy - My condolences to you and your entire family during this time. 
I always looked up to Elroy - I enjoyed the many conversations we had and I could always count on firm handshake, a good laugh and a solid slap on the back!  You are in our prayers.

Just read about Elroy's passing.  He was one of the first people that I met when coming to Rochester in 1977.  I didn't see him often just when he needed my appraisal services.
Always had great fun when seeing each other.  Sad to see him gone, he will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Elroy's passing. I am good friends with his Granddaughter Amanda and have known the family since I was a child. My heart goes out to all of you, I know that more than anything his family was first and foremost, and that family often extends outside of bloodlines. . He passed that onto his daughters and grandchildren as well. I pray that you find comfort in these trying times and know that he is always close. *sending prayers and hugs*

Gull Rock will never be the same!  Elroy was a great man who gave words of wisdom with a splash of humor!  Or maybe it was the other way around...  my condolences the entire Bessler family.
