Not sure what to say?

I forever grateful for all his kindness towards my children. I will never forget how nice he was and caring. My children now being in their 30s, I still remember him each time I drive by Imperial and Aurora Ave rest in peace

Really appreciated the support and encouragement when we moved as a young couple to the Imperial valley in 1980. Like Dr. Ellis we knew May was beautiful in the valley coming from snow on the ground Chicago May weather!

Was sad to read of the passing of Dr Ellis, may the Lord provide Glenda and family with comfort like no other can. May the precious memories they made help carry them through for years to come. He was truly a respected man and Doctor and will be greatly missed.

So sad to hear Of Dr.Ellis s passing, He was my Doctor as a baby, and even treated my kids, He was a great man and will surely be missed. My condolences To the Family. Thank You for all The wonderful Years You spent In The Valley. Rest in Peace.

Dr. Ellis provided honest and whole-hearted care for his patients. I was blessed to be his patient for nearly 16 years and remember how heartbroken I was when he sweetly informed that I was "getting too old" to be seen by a pediatrician. Dr. Ellis helped me with my asthma and allergies , even seeing me on weekends sometimes or before office hours when my asthma would flare up. As I got older, I remember how patient he was to address me (the patient), not just my mom. He set the bar high...

Deepest condolences to Glenda and the family. We were good friends of the Ellis´s for many years. My Mother Joan and my Father Wally Heard were very good friends with them. Dr Ellis delivered me. So sorry to hear this. I will always remember him with great fondness.

Prayers with the family. May Dr. Ellis rest in peace. He was such a kind person!

Doctor Ellis was my doctor as a kid and my 4 children's Doctor. Great person and wonderful Doctor. Mrs. Ellis and Family my heart is saddened for your loss. May the Lord give you strength in the Happy memories. May the Angels carry you all gently during this difficult time.

We are Jim and Glenda's La Mesa neighbors. Jim used to take walks every day and would stop to sit in the shade of our porch and chat. We've so missed watching Alabama football games with them since they went back to the condo (except when Bama was losing!). We'll remember him fondly... he was truly a wonderful man.
