Dotty, I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed talking to both you and Jimmy when u came into the Judaica shop at B’nai Ammona.
He was such a kind man. May his memory be for a blessing.

We were blessed to have lived in back of Ellis Pharmacy on Clayton Road for four years when we were having our babies. Jim was the nicest man and pharmacist. We still use products that he recommended today. Our dog was even on a prescription for humans. He would tease that we had the only dog that was his customer. Rest in peace!

I worked for Mr. Ellis for many years when he owed Klein Pharmacy in the Delmar Loop area. He was a good man. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
