Born in Wilmot Township a son of the late Elmer and Sarah (Jutzi) Gingerich. Beloved husband of Hilda Mae (Erb) Gingerich whom he married May 12, 1956. Lovingly remembered by his children; Renae and Jay Huebert of Nebraska, Eugene and Phyllis Gingerich of Waterloo, Anne and Glen Good, Duane and Christine Gingerich all of New Hamburg and Jon Gingerich of Ingersoll. Dear grandfather to; Nathan, Elisa (Sam), Emily, Janelle, Jordan, Aaron (Lyndsay), Deanne (Robin), Andrew, Katelynn (Grant), Courtney (Andres), Sarah, Judah, Lukas and Micah and great-grandfather of Charlotte, James, Benjamin, Mahalia and Elyce.

Elroy was a member of Highview Community Church in Kitchener. He loved music and enjoyed exercising his strong tenor voice in various quartets in his younger years, as well as in the shower. Elroy was originally a dairy farmer before transitioning into beef, hogs and custom work which allowed him to express his passion for farm equipment. He owned at least one of almost every major tractor brand during his farming career and liked to keep them all polished to a shine. Elroy enjoyed attending auction sales and before he sold his farm restored several two-cylinder John Deere tractors. After moving to New Hamburg Elroy enjoyed hanging out at the coffee shop with his friends, reading and assembling puzzles. Family and friends are invited to Steinmann Mennonite Church, Baden, on Saturday, January 27, 2018 from 1 - 4 and 6 - 8 p.m. Internment will occur at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, followed by the funeral service at Steinmann Mennonite Church, Sunday January 28, 2018 at 2:30 p.m.
