He was a devoted Life Member and Honorary Chief of Bayville Fire Company as well as a proud Veteran of the US Army.
The Ellison family is a fixture through the history of the Bayville Fire Company. Butch's son David is a current Lieutenant of the BFC as well as a Firefighter in the
FDNY. Butch has cousins that are also members of Bayville as well as the Glen Cove Fire Department.
Sad day for the fire service as we lost a well respected long time member today.
RIP Butch, I will miss you.
