He played in many churches and around all parts of the Perry area. Another love of Elroy"s was watching the OSU cowboys, especially football. He never missed a game, whether sitting in the stands or watching from home. Elroy was a gentle and caring man. He would always try to help another before himself. While living at Servant Life Center, before sitting down to eat, Elroy would help get the other residents to their tables for meals. Although he did not have any of his own, Elroy loved children. Being around his many nieces and nephews brought him great joy. Elroy was preceded in death by his wife, Alice Koehn Goe, and parents Frank and Marie (Rupp) Goe. He is survived by his sister Alice Marie Mack and husband, John of Lucien, Oklahoma and several nieces and nephews.
