To the Byron Ellison family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. I had the privelege to get to work with Byron @ Spurger ISD for about 5 years. During his last couple of years @ Spurger we really became good friends. Upon leaving Spurger he moved to Henderson and I was only able to speak with him a few times. In those few times I spoke with him he always spoke of his grandchildren. He was very proud of them. Byron and I had alot of things in common and I will always remember our friendship and cherish the working relationship we had @ Spurger.
