CHicago Bears cornerback Allan Ellis is pictured in 1977. ((UPI) GRG/BRT / )
Ellis died unexpectedly last Wednesday. He was 62. Ellis had appeared at a Bears alumni reunion event the previous weekend. When he failed to show up at Catherine Cook elementary school in Chicago last Wednesday to assist his former teammate, Kris Haines, coach a flag football team as had been his custom, Haines became concerned and later learned Ellis had died.
“We were all together that Saturday night,” said Charlie Brown, a defensive back with the Bears in 1966-67, who is now with the NFL Alumni Chicago chapter.
Visitation will be from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m Friday September 27th at Brookins Funeral Home. Internment on Saturday will be private. A repast will be held at 2105 S. State, Chicago
