Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Ellis Stuckless January 27th 2020..
Death notice for the town of: Baie Verte, Province: T-N
We were deeply saddened by the news of Ellis’s passing. I knew Ellis from our time staying in residence during our university days. We played hockey together in Clarenville, and he was good friend and and an excellent teammate. Years later my wife, by coincidence, worked in the same school as Sarah and the connection was soon made that Ellis was her dad. We hope that your wonderful memories of Ellis help you through this difficult time. Thinking of all of you.

Mary Lou and family, we are heartbroken to hear of Ellis’ passing. We have such fond memories of our summers at UNB with the Stuckless family. It was so good to see you this summer and catch up. Our deepest sympathies during this difficult time. Ellis was such a beautiful soul and we feel blessed to have known him and shared a small part of his life.
