Jim and I worked together for years at Hunter Publishing Compamy/ Jostens. He was a dear friend and I will always remember our times together in Winston-Salem North Carolina as well as in Virginia. I talked with him on the phone just days before his passing and so happy I had the chance one more time. Jim was truly an artist as I have kept all of his "Clown Christmas Cards". The memories will always be cherished.

Becky and Family-
There is no doubt that Jim is one of the most treasured people we have ever known. We loved both him and Becky from the first moment we met. It was indeed our pleasure and honor to spend time with them during my days with Hunter Publishing Company and beyond. He will surely be missed here on earth but there is no doubt that Heaven has gained a wonderful, funny, loving and sincerely clowny angel. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
much love,
Michael and Lisa Bailey

My Condolences to the Ellis family. This must be a hard time as you deal with the loss of your loved one Jim. May you find comfort from our loving Father who "will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away" Revelation 21:4. This is a wonderful future promise which awaits us all under the reign of Christ Jesus and will do away with death forever.

There are no words that adequately express the sorrow and great loss of such a dear man. There are also inadequate words expressing the joy that he is with his Savior and that we will see Jim again. Please know that you all are in our prayers. May you find comfort in your love for each other, the precious memories,and the many friends that loved Jim and you all. Above all may you find comfort in your faith.
Psalm 43:18 The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and the savior to those who are crushed in spirit.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jim and Becky at Christmas with the Ellis family - Jim was hauling in giant logs to stoke the fire - serving up a little special strawberry moonshine from his little bar - showing me his wonderful root cellar and later their new house
He was a wonderful creative gentle man and I know you all will miss him - our condolences to the whole family

Such a pleasure to meet him. I am a friend of Beths and I know how special he was to you, all my love to you. Praying for strength, peace and love for you all.
