My fondest memory of Jim was the excitement he expressed shortly after his retirement. He seemed to have the corner on every discount available to seniors and would gladly share that wisdom with a huge laugh whenever our paths would cross. All the best to Ruth and the family. Jim made a difference.

We raise the last coke us four shared. It has been an honour to be apart of your life Jim. Ruth and I would send you and Doug up a mountain and wait for you guys to come down although this time you are staying high, watching from above as we wait to see you again one day. Love you for ever Jim. Ruth, Neil, Yum, and John thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of this journey. We love you all! Di and Doug (The Youngens)

Condolences from a Mount Baker alum. I hadn't seen "Mr. Ellingson" in quite a few years, but kindness and fairness come to mind.

Well Jim, or should I say 'Chet' it was great fun....My memory is of Champion Lakes where WE WON. I will never forget your driving....OMG one hand on the wheel, one eye on the GPS and just going as fast as you could....round corners and going the wrong way....but you know what....we survived and came out Victorious. It was a pleasure Jim. Now your GPS is always pointing to the biggest cache.....See you again some day.....Oh but please....without a car

I was sorry to learn of Jim's passing. My arms are around you, Ruth. Although I did not know Jim well, he always had an engaging smile, a calm manner, and was a good listener whenever I was at the high school. With sympathy, Susan Langin
