My name is Jack Warren. I went to Castle Heights with Ellis (or Ozzy as we called him), in fact we were roommates for a full school year plus the summer. I had met his mother and father in River Forest, Illinois many years ago. We had lost contact for many years as I was working foreign; however made contact about 5 or d6 years ago only to lose it a couple of years ago.
I liked Ozzy very much and I am sure he was a very good husband and father.
I do have couple of group photos of all the students who lived in "Tower" at that time, 1948 and 1949. If you would like, I could send them by email to you.
You are all in my prayers and I feel your loss deeply.
My email address is:
I presently live in California halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego.

He was the most WONDERFUL grandpa anyone could ask for. His smile and laughter brought light into the room. He always put others first and always had amazing talents (like fishing) and stories about his past. RIP Grandpa! I miss you a whole lot and wish you didn't have to leave us here but catch some big wallayes up in heaven for me. I love you!
Love,
Christine (Grand daughter)
