Fred Ellis SR A Memory from Robert L. Johnson
After moving here from Montgomery in 1979 . I met Fred shortly there after and down through the years we grew to be good friends. So we began referring to each other as “ GOOD BUDDY “
Fred had made a good name for himself as a hard worker and a honest man. Fred’s handshake was his bond. Jesus said at ( Matt 5:37, just let your word YES mean YES and your NO mean NO ). So Fred always tried to live up to his word. gm
We often had deep Bible discussions about JESUS and his father JEHOVAH and that one day there would be “ NO MORE SICKNESS and NO MORE DEATH “ (Revelation 21:3,4)
◦ I’m truly going to miss him but we often discuss the ( Acts 24:15) Where it reads “ There is going to be a resurrection of both the Righteous and the unrighteous. “ “ Fred truly appreciated that verse pointing to the time during the 1000 year reign of JESUS CHRIST when JESUS will RESURRECTION all those in the MEMORIAL TOMBS“ (JOHN 5:28 )
Sincerely,
“ YOUR GOOD BUDDY “
Robert L Johnson
