I’ll never forget the times we had. The older I get the more I appreciate everything you did for us. The passion you had for your work, your attention to detail and the love you have for Grandma will be memories I hold close. Build one last bridge and visit us often. I love you so much, Grandpa.
Sending prayers for the Reidt Family as Elroy was my mother’s 1st cousin. Remember spending time with the Reidt kids growing up. He and Ellen always came to the Wick events and was so sad to hear of his illness. He certainly was a good man and will be missed by many.
My deepest sympathy to the Reidt family. I’m so glad I got to know Elroy these past few years. He and Ellen always made me feel welcome at their home. I’m going to miss helping him work around the yard and listening to his stories
Jim, Brenda, Ellen, Aubrey and Austin, Our sympathy to you in the loss of this kind man, your Dad and Grandpa. Stan and I always enjoyed our visits with him. Please extend our sympathy to your Mom/Grandma. She is such a delightful lady. Hugs to all.
I am just saddened to hear the news of Elroy’s passing. I’m happy I got to see him one last time a month or so ago at the Old Log Cabin Elroy and Ellen were my favorite customers Elroy will be greatly missed.

My heart is saddened so deeply with the passing of the most wonderful Father-In-Law that I was so fortunately blessed with. He was considerate, kind and always went the extra mile to help his family and very special to be around because he cared so much about his family and we all learned a great deal from him. From his Daughter-in-Law Gail

My condolences to the family. Elroy was a hard working man. I admired him alot for his accomplishments. He was a great neighbor to us for many years. It was nice to talk and have a beer together, talking about pretty much anything.
