El passed away peacefully on Thursday April 2, 2015.In addition to parents, he is preceded in death by very devoted special Aunt Minnie L Rogers; brother Wilburt Dandy; Sisters Sundra Hood Williams, Shirley Heath. El known to a lot as "Meat Man" was a very outgoing person. You would often see him walking or on the RTA to get to his destination. You could catch El at local pantries giving his helping hand, as well as helping out in his neighborhood. If you were lucky to cross paths, you'd probably hear him say "Hey look here, let me get a couple dollars for some cigarettes." Weather he needed them or not, El will be greatly missed by many.
