Rob I had the pleasure to work with you once while I was at Truck 5. I remember you being a great guy. You had a smile on your face the entire day. We had a fire that day and you worked real hard. Your going to be missed by the entire Newark Fire Dept. To my Hungarian Brother and Newark Fire Dept Brother may you Rest In Peace. To the Ellis Family I am so sorry for your loss.

Illis introduced me to his famous hot peppers & garlic in olive oil, he would make it almost daily in the morning at work. He had me hooked, when our crew would come over he would hastily give me some in cup with bread. One of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Will miss you brother, see you in Valhalla.
