in honor of James.

I’m James’ nephew, and I’ve known him for all 14 years of my life. I didn’t get to know as much about him as I wish I had. But after he left this world, I started learning more about him through the stories my family has told me and the things he left behind. It made me realize there was a lot more to him than I knew. One thing I do remember is when he offered to take me for a ride in his hot rod, but I never got the chance to go. It’s a small memory, but it’s one I’ll keep with me forever.

I've known him for 66yrs as Jr. He was my Cousin...our Fathers were Brothers. He is an Ellis and I am an Ellis. Jr taught me a lot about playing sports as a young kid. He made time for me. He even let me hang out with him and his friends when I was about 13. We went riding around in his Cuda. Everything was alright with that until I spilled the beans about our doing 140mph at the breakfast table the next day.
I got blamed for tying a chain to the axle of Grandma's car. Robert Ray and Jr. did it and I (a five year old) got blamed for it.
I'll miss you Jr.
