John was one of the most interesting and intelligent people I've ever known. He was an absolute gent and a talented artist who inspired my wife Tracy Goodwin to go into teaching. I could spend hours just listening to his anecdotes. RIP John Ellis. From Steven Goodwin

Thank you for setting up this memorial to John. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
