I will always have the the most fond memories of my Uncle Ellsworth. Bull fights in Mexico, BBQ's in the back yard in Erie. I remember him as a big man although I realized later in life that it was not his physical size that left me with that childhood memory. It was his large personality that made a room come alive with his laugh and presence. We will miss him 'til we see him again in Heaven.
