He is also survived by his sisters Mary Hanlon and Shirley(Sixto) Martinez and brother Joe(Alice) Romero and sister-in-law Rene Romero and numerous nieces and nephews. Eloy was a very generous man and loved deeply. He was able to give his brother Fred the gift of a longer life; a kidney. That was something he was proud of for he loved his brother. One of his favorite things to do was play poker with his childhood friends, who he kept in contact with all these years because he loved and cherished them so. He also loved other things like softball, bowling and especially his grandkids. He went above and beyond for them. Showing up to school performances, taking pictures before school dances, birthday phone calls and dinner dates. He never failed to show up when asked.
“If there ever comes a day where we can’t be together keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever. 10-4, over and out.”
