Mr. Bear Lake - Remembering Elroy Urbanus
Hundreds attended the January 9 funeral service at Bear Lake School |
Pastor Bobby Cabot addresses the attendees |
When Bear Lake said goodbye to Elroy Urbanus three weeks ago, the community reluctantly returned a part of its bedrock to the earth. Urbanus, Bear Lake School ’s longtime custodian and bus driver, passed away on January 5 after a long struggle with Lou Gehrig’s Disease, or ALS. His constant, friendly face greeted generations of students when they boarded the school bus or walked down the halls. Over 45 years, entire families came to know him on a first-name basis. While teachers and administrators were addressed formally, most everyone knew Urbanus as “Elroy.”
