He was born in Perris, Calif, on Dec. 5,1925.
He joined the U.S. Navy in 1942 at age of 17, so he could serve his country as his brothers were doing. He was a gunner’s mate on the USS Minneapolis and fought in the Pacific theater in World War II. Upon discharge from the Navy in 1945, he came to Chelsea, Kan., where his parents had purchased a homestead. He and his brothers joined them in farming and ranching.
In August 1946, he obtained title of "Colonel” from the American school of auctioneering in Mason City, Iowa. He started his career at the Sale Barn on Jones St. in El Dorado, and soon was operating his own auctions.

They worked side by side in the Jackson Auction and Real Estate business. He was a realtor from 1969 until retirement.
In retirement he stayed active in ranching and auctioneering, which included his guest appearance on the opening day of the new El Dorado Livestock Auction Barn. He was honored to be asked to sell the first ring of cattle that day, and thoroughly enjoyed the moment. Little did he know that he would finish his auction career at the same place he started.
His survivors include: his wife Verla L. (Davis); children, Marilyn McEl-roy (Earl) of Wichita, Casey Jackson of El Dorado, and Shelley Lauber (Rick) of Iola; grandchildren, Dette (McEl-roy) Longman of Westminster, Colo., Chris McElroy of Ttilsa, Okla., McKayla (Miller) Haskins of Olathe, Cameron Miller of Overland Park, Kiesha (Lauber)Richen-burg of St. Paul, Kan., and Alicia (Lauber) Has-selby of Overland Park;
