As I remember Ellis in our youth, I never saw him angry and with a perpetual smile. He had some jokes that would always lift you up as if he new why you were down that day. It is obvious Ellis had a great heart and was a true gentlemen. Ellis you will missed but never forgotten. RIP.

Good bye my buddy, my pal and my brother I never had. You were there for me when I needed you and I will never forget the kindnesses you showed me through out your short life. I vow to pay them forward! It is surreal that you are gone. I will truly miss you and cherish the memories from the past since early childhood. God bless you in Heaven where the after life is so sweet. Hugs to Joan, Jane and Joe. Kiss your Dad on the top of his bald head for me, he ALWAYS liked that!!!!
