Missing you like crazy Dad. Continue to rest in peace

Miss you brah, I know that you are still doing up in heaven. Sho Ya Right!

Hello Glenn, Your tribute just popped up on my phone and it so reminded me of your awesomely fun and loving spirit! That beautiful, infectious and radiant smile continues to permeate my spirit and it feels like you are still here. Happy Heavenly Birthday my brother. Actually, you are my brother from another. Continue to Rest Easy….

Hey Dad….here we are, yet again celebrating the holidays without you. It’s been 8 yrs and still today, it doesn’t sit well with me. I miss you dearly. I miss our talks, I miss you checking up on me everyday. My heart aches. Rest peacefully.

With Love
Your Daughter
Sheka

Dear cousin Glenn,
Oh how I miss your smile and sense of humor. Our family has a big void. We love and remember you forevermore. Love, Josephine

Hey Glenn, it’s holiday time again. Of course you are always near in our hearts and thoughts. Your memory is kept alive with a story or a joke. Always a remember that time. Lol!

Happy Birthday Dad!!! We love and miss you dearly!! The children and I were just conversing about you and the way you laugh when you joke about something!! D’eor’s birthday was just a feed days ago and his wish was that you were here to share in with his birthday festivities!!
Love you and miss you deeply!!!!

Hey Bro! Listen we sent up balloons this summer to you & Mom& Daddy & Sis. Renee & Grandma & Grandad & all our loved ones that have passed into Eternal Peace. Love y’all ❤️
I didn’t forget your Birthday

Hey Dad!!! Just wanted to let you know not a day goes by that I don’t miss seeing my phone ring and it’s you, always telling me, “ if I don’t check up on you, who will”! You always made sure you talked to me or spent time with me and the children, cause going out to eat was your thing

Stopping by to say Happy Birthday big bro. I miss you so much. Now I don't have anybody to call me everyday and cuss me out when I'm slipping. I am so mad at myself for not doing more recording with us. Me, Mike Pryor, Jr and Foxy Rob were talking about you on your birthday. Your name always comes up today as if you are still here with us and you are. I know you are glad to see BJ and Ice there with you. I love you forever bro.

I worked with Glenn a lot between 1994 and 1997 in NYC. We worked on a lot of recording sessions. He was a great bass player, one of the best, and wonderful friend. As happens in the music business, we lost touch and I'm very sorry to have finally caught up with him here. Rest in peace Glenn.

Rest in piece to an innovator and musical genius!...you are missed young man!

In loving memory of Glenn Ellis on his Birthday, Happy Birthday my friend and thanks for the many laughs and smiles and hugs too! You might be gone but never - ever will I forget you. Kisses up to heaven beloved. Happy Birthday Glenn!

Hey Bro,

Happy birthday to you and I wish that you were still here. I remember how you would call and check on my Mom. Even though she hadn't met you in person, it meant the world to her that my friend would check up on her. You both are now looking down on me and I promise to make you both proud! Thank you for all of your bass wisdom that you've left here for me and others to learn from. When I play certain songs I can't help but think about you and how you would approach the song. One of a kind musician and soul! Peace & Love,

Hey Bro. I just stopped by to say I miss you so much. You know we used to talk each & everyday. 5, 6 times a day. My birthday was Friday. We've been doing great. Tomorrow we celebrate our first Thanksgiving without you. It will not be the same of course but I am making my favorite cornbread & sausage dressing so stop on through & get some..LOL!

Hey Glenn! Just dropped by to say hello! Was cleaning out my email and ran across your tribute. I still can't believe you have left us but as I have always said....You are in a so better place than where we are now. Yes, we miss that radiant and infectious smile that you wear so so well! When I look at your photes, it is like you are right here with us! My eyes tear when I hear "Gone too Soon" but we all have to realize that we had your awesome and contagious spirit with us for 57 years so now we are sharing you, and will not be selfish, with the Angels and all those family, friends and loved ones that have gone before you. Tell your mom Ms. Sarah, Mr. Bud, Jonah and the rest of the fam I said hello.  All that Ellis talent 'up there' showing off with you augmenting with your 'strings' and bubbling spirit!!!  Love you, miss you and you will always be in my heart! Your adopted sister/friend.... 'Thea

Happy 4th 2014 BRO. Still Missing u. Just like that Jamal walked up yesterday while Peaches & I were at the Mall. He favors you a Lot & we hugged him forever. LOVE U. R.I.P.

I feel like my Big cousin Glenn's spirit still lives on. In fact, I know it does. I have so many warm memories. I think of Glenn as a quiet storm. He was very observant, and he could make a joke, and follow up with such a big smile and laughter. He was so intuitive, and was an awesome musician. I miss you Glenn. I am grateful that you live on in me, and all of your family. R.I.P. Glenn.

Hey Glenn, It's Friday April 4, 2014. Man it's been 3 months since you got your wings and flew up high above us. I sure miss our chats. Well this Friday went pretty good for me. Lot's of rest today & more to come. I heard from uncle John/Bob that he dreamed about you on Wednesday night. He called me & I spoke to him just yesterday about it. Well he has really vivid dreams and he is a dreamer. Some folks never dream. He saw you & he spoke to you. I guess you know all about it and had to speak to him about some things. We all miss you. I'll be checking on you again soon, OK..LOVE YOU Big Brother. Keep your spirit right here. Ttyl!

Hey Big Brother, what's up. Just sending my Love. Miss u! Keep ur spirit coming it's so relaxing. It's snowing pretty heavy right now. Ok, I'll check on you later. ❤️❤️❤️

Hey Big Brother, what's up. Just sending my Love. Miss u! Keep ur spirit coming it's so relaxing. It's snowing pretty heavy right now. Ok, I'll check on you later. ❤️❤️❤️

I think of you every single day...It's still hard to believe that you left us so soon but your smiles, your laughter, and your cherished love for us all remains.

We miss you so very much. You were a light for us and the nucleus of our family. You kept us all together and reminded us all that tomorrow wasn't promised. Your words echo sometimes in my head, I thought I heard your voice the other day, it was just a bird in the tree as I left to go to work and I responded, yes Uncle Glenn, I will slow down. My tires were bald and I could hear you chastising me about taking some time to get them fixed because sometimes the world has to wait.

I couldn't believe it when they told me that day, but we pray for peace. I'm glad that we got a chance to tell you I love you and hear you say it back.

Each morning, the phone would ring and I could hear your voice on the other end speaking to my mom. You brightened her day with sunshine before she could even see God's works. It made all of our day's just a bit better.

I will never forget you and all the memories we shared. You've left footprints in my heart that will never ever fade. I love you so much I hope you know I cared. You instilled in all of us the promise of gratitude. Being grateful every day for every breath. Your positivity was infectious. It was never precocious or haughty. You were grounded and your wisdom helped us all troubleshoot those low moments.

I cherish your memory and your legacy. I love you. I miss you.

Hey Man! What's up? Just had to stop by today..Yes it's Friday!!! You know how we chat it up on Friday's and I want to know where the Gig is @ tonight?..LOL! You alway's @ someplace cool. Especially on Friday's. I know y'all up there throwing down. You, Chuck, Lil Bennie, Rick, Leroy, Uncle Jonah and all the Greatest Player's of our time. Did you see that your son.. Bryan is starting to play Bass? I know you are so proud of him. Well, you keep your smiling spirit right here and I can hear that Bass Line, it's sounding even better. Kiss Mom & Daddy for me.

LOVE YOU!
Sister Carolyn

Glenn, I know you are in a special and awesome place...looking down on all your family and friends with that awesome smile, radiant and gleaming spirit while working those "strings". Can't believe it has been 3 months because your spirit remains here with us!! It looks like yesterday when you would allow Carol and I to join you all on gigs--even though we were under age!! You watched out for us and always threatened us to stay at the table. Eventhough you are sorely missed, it brings me great relief to know you ARE okay....smiling down on us and of course cracking those jokes!!! Love ya, Thea

I did not know Glenn passed away. My prayers are with the family. I knew Glenn and his family when they lived on 50th st. Ne Washington dc. They use to live next door to my grandparents.
R.I.P Glenn

Glenn , think about you alot. The new addition to the family is beautiful. When I first held her I could only think of you and how you loved your family they ment the world to you.

Glenn,
As I sit here looking at your photos, I can almost hear you laughing! Your smile spoke volumes without even saying a word. I'm not sure that I ever saw you without that huge cheshire cat smile! You were always so kind and genuine... there aren't too many people like that who just have that wonderful spirit about them. You, my friend, were one. Just know that you are missed here on Earth, but your legacy will live on forever through your music, your family and all of those that you inspired... Rest in Paradise....

Brother Glenn we've crossed paths so many times and I never got to formally introduce myself to you..probably because I was in awe of folk's like you Lil Benny and Pop's (Chuck Brown) ...who knew you were a pioneer? They didn't ....I did! Who knew how instrumental you were and still are to our genre? They didn't but I sure did!... you will truly be missed my brother! R.I.P

Dear brother,
I miss you everyday. Things are not the same without you. As the jazz standard says, There will never be another you! I love you, your brother for life!

my uncle i love him so much. i still couldn’t believe that this happened. but then i had to realize that it happens. and could happen to anyone. and anyday. but i try to move on. :’) <3 some reason i don’t sad i feel like he’s home. and thats exactly how i feel. love you uncle glenn. my last words to you i remember: “i love you and i won’t stop doing my music”

I light a candle in loving memory of you my beloved friend, as you were much like a beacon of light for many of your friends, family, and peers. Your smile could light up any room and bring a smile to anyones' damper day. Your jolly laugh was contagious and in it was the sincerest of kindness and love for humanity. God blessed us with you my friend in many ways, in which we all hold our own special moments in life with you Glenn forever dear to heart. And though I might still shed a few tears from time to time thinking of you, I will always have a certain peace in knowing you are in God's divine love watching over us. I love you beyond the heavens my friend. Until we meet again, soar in paradise and shine angelically.

Glenn, you were a real friend for over 30 years and most people cannot say that they've had friendships that long. You always made sure that we kept in touch. Even when our schedules would get busy, you would call to check on me and mines. While I'm still dealing with the reality of your passing, our many conversations and your memory will live on.

Thank you for taking the time to assist me with my playing as well as giving me the nod that I needed to be encouraged in my playing. When we first met, you gave me the best advice that a musician could give another (learn your theory). I'm still hearing those words.

Even more than the music, you were real people and for that I will always love you like a big brother!.

Peace & Love

TODAY..I stopped by to Lay a Flower for you Glenn, A RED ROSE.

R.I.P. Brother

You were the Light that captured our lives. The way you smiled said so much and it made this world more beautiful. Play your Awesome Bass Guitar & make Blessed songs and music forever in Heaven brother Glenn. In our Hearts you will never be forgotten. R.I.P. 3>

You were a complete FOOL and I say that with so much love. I have one biological older brother but many other older brothers, and you were one of them. The one that I could spill my guts to and get some big brotherly advice. Whenever I needed a sound ear, you were there. I miss you cussin' me out and talking crazy as soon as I pick up the phone. I love you Glenny-Glenn and I miss you so much! Continue to rest in paradise.
