Matt and the Ellis Family,
I was/am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Having recently lost my father as well, I know of the impact and void that is felt. As your family comes together, I hope much comfort can be gained and pride felt, as it seems your dad accomplished much and led an honorable life. Yours, Craig

To Naomi and family - My condolences to you all. I worked with Carey and observed daily his extreme intelligence. He was one of the best agents the Service ever saw. He touched so many of us by quietly teaching and instructing us all the time, every day. Thank you for sharing him with us those many years.

Naomi and family, My deepest sympathy to all of you. I worked with Carey and he was my teacher at St. Francis. He always made all of us smile and laugh. Carey was an extraordinary man. I am honored to have known him. He will be truly missed. May God heal your family.

Naomi and family, I had the privilege of knowing and working with Carey in Johnstown. He was indeed a teacher and mentor and likely the smartest person I may ever know. He touched us all with his humor and brilliance and I can't tell you the number of times I reflect on things he taught me. I even had the honor to get one of Carey's bear rugs that I treasure to this day! He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. May your remembrances of Carey bring smiles to your faces and peace in your hearts.

I never knew Mr. Ellis but have come to know in the past few weeks what a remarkable man he was. He had a very strong family support system and it showed in all their caring things they said about him. I would like to convey my deepest sympathy to Naomi, Cindy and the rest of his entire family.

Noc,
I know this is late in coming, but I just heard today of Bud's death through Cathi. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Hope you. Are doing fine. It's been a long time since we've seen each other and I believe the only times I met Bud were when he would pick you up at the trailer (triple M AN) during our summer studies at Ship.
Last summer a few of the old gang got together at my home on Quakertown for a reunion weekend and sometime this year Nancy would love to have us all to Florida for Reunion #2. It was me, Nancy, Cathi, Dot and Ruth. Debbie and Vic were unable to join us. Hope you, too will join us this year.
Again, so sorry about Bud! Keep in touch. Jlandgreen580@gmail.com 267.374.8562
