Not sure what to say?

John John you are going to be missed. You were such a joy to work with, and your humor will forever put a smile on my face. You will truly be missed.

I met John in June of 2014. John had a great sense of humor and was a kind man. Upon arriving at PARC in the morning he would announce himself by saying" Man in the house". John has left an indelible imprint in the hearts of everyone who knew him. He will be missed. Take your rest John H. Ellis. My sincerest condolences to Deborah Jones and to those who remain.

My Condolences to you Deborah , Family, Friends Rest in Peace John

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. RIH

I met John Ellis back in 74 when I went to work at SVTC back then he would love to come on the units and wanted to work, he actually thought that he had a job working at cleaning the kitchen area, taking out trash or whatever he thought was needed,everybody was momma and when he laughed you had to laugh with him, he adored my late mother in law and she would visit him if she saw him on Crater Rd. She would stop and he would always have his hand out smiling from ear to ear and yes even back...

I remember him well. A hard worker.

Rest in peace my friend,you will be missed!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
