I am very sad this day. A legend in the Gospel music world , Patrick Ellis of WHUR radio has gone to heaven. I am sad he is not with us but have faith that he is with the lord. I met him over 30 years ago and have been a guest on his show to many times to even count. He accompanied so many of us on Sunday mornings as we drove to church listening to his show and good down home gospel music. We have talked over and over again on so many subjects. Yes he is with the Lord but yes I am very sad. God bless you my brother
