Early in his career Ellis was co-owner of Donovan Furniture on State St., but he mostly distinguished himself as a local Realtor for many years in Bellingham by serving many key roles in the sale and development of several well-known businesses and industrial properties still active today. Arco and Intalco refineries, Fred Meyer and St. Joseph Hosp. to name just a few. He was active on the Bellingham Planning Commission, Board of Realtors President, and a longtime member of the Bellingham Golf and Country Club. He lived at the Parkway Chateau for the last 5 years and was very involved in all their activities. Memorials may be made to Immanuel Bible Church where he was a member or the Lighthouse Mission.
