Ellis danced to his own music & his giggle was worth millions, when we would see him I would call him great grandpa & he would giggle & light up like a light bulb. He loved his winters in Yuma with his friends & that has dropped in number. I think he would have lived in Mexico if he could have set it up, he had fun on his weekly trips. We will miss you Ellis but we will not forget you. RIP Great Grandpa.
