To the Family of Richard S. Ellis:
I could not believe it when I read in the paper of your father’s death on June 2. I had seen him just a week before when I picked up my lamp which he repaired. I thought he was so remarkable for his age. But even more importantly, he was such a delight to do business with. Would that more people in business had his work ethic: honest, prompt, dependable, courteous, and you always knew the work would be done perfectly. I feel like I’ve lost an old friend.
I’m sorry for your pain.
Mary Jane Noel
