He returned to the cadet organization serving as the Commanding Officer of RCSCC Falkland and HMCS ONTARIO, ON. He retired as a highly respected Commander with over 32 years military service. His associations included the Legion, White Ensign Club, Navy League, NOAC, and Masonic Lodge. Retirement meant time to enjoy boating and traveling from coast to coast in his campervan. Ellis will be missed by his loved ones and friends. Donations may be made in his honour to the Legion or White Ensign Club. Service in Arnprior, ON
