I'm really sorry for those who loved this man--

-it hurts bad to lose a piece of happy memories of good times & youth. Thats why I did what I did for Ronnie Montrose--

Maybe somebody who loves Jimmy Ellis will do the same for this Gentleman so those of us not lucky enough to be born then, can get to know him.

RIP Sir
