CHELMSFORD – William S. “Bill” Ellis, age 69, died Sunday, September 6, 2015 at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center following a courageous battle with cancer. He was the beloved husband of Linda A. (Poole) Ellis, to whom he was married for 50 years.

He was a graduate of Revere High School and attended Middlesex Community College.
Bill was employed for 45 years by TRW Automotive. He later drove a school bus at Greater Lowell Technical High School for NRT Bus Company.
His greatest joy in life was spending time in the company of his family and friends. He enjoyed life and loved to laugh. He was also an avid football fan, especially the New England Patriots.
