Ellis is one of the reasons I am here today. Ellis and Shirley took my father (Ellis's friend Bruce Martin Sr) and mother (Shirley's friend Rita Mitchell) out on their first date. The rest as they say is history. Ellis and Shirley have held a special place in my parents heart to this day. They do for me as well. For August 5th 1970 I was born at Louisville Baptist Hospital. My families thoughts go out to the Blanton family. Ellis is a very special person to my parents as is Shirley. The person may be gone but what he did in life will reverberate for eternity.

So sorry. Ellis came to visit us when we lived on Bank Street. When I saw him, I ran and gave him a big hug and all my girlfriends wanted to know who that good looking guy I was hugging. Course I was proud to say, "He's my nephew". I will always remember the quiet spoken man he was. Just because I can't make it to the funeral home, you will be in my prayers and in my heart. Love to all, Eva (Gillespie)

I pray for the Father to send the Great Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to your family and friends, Ellis. I always enjoyed seeing you at St. Catharine and I wish we all were still there.

Our deepest sympathies to all his family members. I knew him through his wife who was a classmate of mine at Trigg County High School. Ellis was a frequent attender at our class reunions. I pray that God will wrap His loving arms around all of you at this sad time.

I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Ellis at St. Catharine. He was, without a doubt, the kindest person I have ever known. It was always a delight to have time to talk with Ellis. My prayers are with you all.
