Services Set For Moorestown Vet With A Zest For Life

Albert Brian Ellis, of Moorestown/Mt Laurel, was born on March 27, 1937, and died on Nov. 1, 2019.

Born and raised in Moorestown, NJ, Brian served and retired from the US military. After enlisting in the Navy, he was assigned to, and became a plank owner of, the USS Saratoga (CVA-60). He later continued his service with the Naval Air and the US Coast Guard Reserves. Brian was also a retiree from Albert Ellis, Inc., where he devoted a lifetime of service to the community of Moorestown.

He had a zest for life with his hobbies over the years: boating, flying, golfing, fishing, tractor restoration, motorcycling, moon shining, and tinkering. Whatever was broken, Brian could fix.
