Mr. Charles Ellis went home to be with the Lord with family by his side.

The children of Mr Ellis define him as a excellent provider, a hard worker all his life he was stern but fair. Some followed in his footsteps of being an entertainer.

His numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren define him as the story teller. He always had a story to tell them. That’s something they will dearly miss about their grandfather. And whenever in any type of trouble they knew they could ask grandpa for any type of advice and guidance.

He will be dearly missed by everyone he has ever touched he was just that kind man whom everyone just loved.
