HUDSON FALLS – James T. Ellis, Sr., 70, of Elizabeth Street, passed away on Friday, June 28, 2019, at Washington Center in Argyle.
Born on May 18, 1949, in Fort Edward, he was the son of the late Richard Ellis and Doris Ellis Stott.
He married his first wife, Eleanor Whiting Ellis in South Glens Falls and his second wife, the late Mary Roberts Ellis in Fort Edward.
He loved going to Hudson Falls Juckett Park, playing bingo and he was so proud that he taught his son, Tom how to drive. He was also so proud of Jason Hammond for enlisting in the National Guard, who now is in bootcamp.
