I have known Richard Ellis almost my entire life. We grew up together and have been close friends for the last 63 years. Throughout our lifelong friendship, I have never known a more decent, honest, kind, and compassionate person. Rick is one of the most caring people I know, and is always concerned about the welfare of others. Rick has a strong sense of commitment to his friends, family, and community, and has consistently demonstrated that commitment throughout his personal and professional life.
The allegations being made against him by a former tenant are totally inconsistent with the Richard Ellis I have known all my life. Based on my personal knowledge of Rick’s high integrity and character, I do not believe the allegations being made against him have any merit. Furthermore, I would strongly question whether the person making such spurious allegations may have dubious and ulterior motives in doing so, whether financial or otherwise.
In summary, based on my lifetime personal knowledge of Richard Ellis, the allegations being made against him simply do not ring true.
Sincerely,
Jim Anderson
