Jimmie Louis Ellison

I am still in shock from hearing of Jim's death. He was such a wonderful friend to all of us. He always had a smile and a positive comment. He stayed in touch with high school friends and many other friends he met throughout the years. It had been too long since I had talked with him, so he called Lester to see if he had heard from me. Lester called me, and we had a great conversation. I then called Jim, and we had a good conversation. He said he was glad that I am okay. That's the Jim we all loved, and he will be missed. Without a doubt, I know he is with God! I am so happy I had him for a friend. He had a good marriage, and he was so very proud of his family. I'm sure everyone is left with many good memories. I was totally blessed to call him my friend.

Jim and I were classmates at Portales High School, Class of 1958. In all the years of knowing Jim, he was always the same person whenever I saw him -- humorous, honest, humble and just an all around "good guy". He lived a good and useful life and found success in his professional life, as well as his personal life with his partner, Melba. Rest in Peace, old friend.
