Norman C. “Bud” Ellis

Norman C. “Bud” Ellis of Squantum, passed away on Wednesday, June 30, 2021.  He was 92.

Bud was born in his family home in Squantum to Myron and Mabel (Cragg) Ellis.  After graduating High School, he became a salesman for the Westerbeke Corporation and travelled the world. He was in the Navy Reserves, and became a member of the Squantum Yacht Club, a deacon and trustee of the 1st Church of Squantum, a Sea Scouts leader, Scout Master, and worked at the YMCA summer camp. After retiring, Bud never really stopped working.

He was a jack of all trades and a “do it yourself” kind of guy. If he could build it, he would, and often did.  Bud was always there to lend a hand.  In his spare time, he could often be found sailing, working on his boat or other small boats.

Bud is the beloved husband of Betty A. Ellis of N. Quincy, loving father of Peter Ellis, his daughter-in-law Lorry Dern Ellis of N. Quincy, and Nancy (Ellis) Hansen and her husband Einar of N. Quincy.  Loving grandfather to Sarah and Kimberly Ellis.  Great grandfather of Milo Ellis Escobar.
