He was born in Santa Barbara, California, June 19, 1949 to Albert Ellis Sr. and Hazel Wiltz Ellis, the youngest of seven children .

He is survived by his wife Judy, his mother-in-law Alma Sherman, his step-son Glenn Cornell, granddaughter Christina Cendrosky, great-granddaughters Heavyn and Kaydance Rushe and many loving nieces : Pam, Tammy, Penelope, Jameelah , Kareemah La Ronda, Raven, Kia and nephews : Michael, Patrick, Amari, Richard, Ronnie, Robert, Warren Jr., Kydolphus, Henry, Johnny, great-nephews and nieces, and great-great nephews and nieces.

We are so sorry to hear about Albert. He was our neighbors handyman and he often had my son and the neighborhood boys over helping him out. They loved to spend time with him because he was so nice to them. Albert always waved to everyone in our neighborhood even if he didn't know them. We wondered why we haven't seen him for awhile. He will be greatly missed. Our condolences.

So sorry for Albert's family and friends but did he frequently come in to Washington City Home Depot?
