Through the years Elroy served on the Board of Directors at the Tamora-Staplehurst-Beaver Crossing Co-Op. He also served on various boards at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Our Redeemer Lutheran Church and St. John Lutheran Church. Elroy enjoyed watching westerns and "The Price Is Right." He loved playing golf, going to coffee, playing cards, bowling on a league in Seward and a Lutheran league, watching Husker volleyball and football and Concordia basketball.
