Ellis was a true friend who would do anything to help someone else. He was a great hunting buddy and we had many good times together. We had a lot of time to talk as we rode to and from the hunting lease and we learned a lot about each other. Cheryl and I##imported-begin##Joe & Cheryl Simpson##imported-end##
