Always moving Was Mr. Ellis' way. whether taking Amy or Jason to soccer, running us kids to movies, or being outside in the blue Volvo. He was always ready and willing to "be there." He will truly be missed by all those that knew him. Rest easy Mr. Ellis, you earned it.

My thoughts and prayers for Rick's family. He was a good friend and great co-worker. We made many trips to building 20 or off site for a sub or Greek lunch. Rest in heaven Rick.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Ellis was a very interesting man to talk with. I was blessed to meet him one year at a Super Bowl Party at Jason and Becky´s house. He graced our neighborhood on other occasions and always had something to talk about. He loved his family dearly and the grandkids made him proud. Anyone that had the pleasure of meeting or knowing Mr. Ellis (he always told me to call him Rick-but Mr. Ellis it was) knew what a blessing he was. Praying for all of the family and friends during this difficult time.
