As a boy at Grace Methodist, I observed that Mr. Ellis was a man who seldom spoke up, spoke softly when he did, and everyone listened because they respected him immensely and knew whatever he said was well thought-out. I will always remember his great dignity and friendliness, and I trust his family will take great comfort in many wonderful memories.

My sincere condolences to the entire Ellis family. Mr. Ellis was a wonderful gentleman and I admired him greatly. He was very good to our family over the years and my late parents thought very highly of him. May you all be comforted by your warm memories, and may God grant you peace in the coming days.
