I worked with Ernie for many years, and he was great person. He had a story for just about every occasion. I doubt if he knew very many strangers. I know he will be missed Dan Dilbeck
R.I P Ernie…
Ruth and Michele, Not sure you would remember me from many years ago but thinking of you in your loss. Carol Moore (my last name was Crowther at one time)
Ruth, Truly sorry about the loss of Ernie! You’ve both been such good friends to mom and dad! I’m sure he is up there with dad talking about old times! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter. Let me know if you ever need anything…I am close by!
I am proud to have known Ernie and to have had the opportunity to have worked with him over the years. I will never forget Ernie’s favorite lines as I answered is his calls at 2 A.M. “Did I wake you?” or “Are you up?” I always answered that I was already awake; somehow I would have just awoke prior to his call. I guess the pleasure that Ernie took of having the chance to wake me somehow managed to get to me prior to his call. I will also remember Ernie’s willing to lend a hand and help others. And how he enjoyed the chance to go mudding in our yet to be completed driveway when he helped us move back in 1979. Ernie you will be missed. How appropriate it is that Ernie’s services fall when the Christians Community is remembering the completion of Christ’s Passion. May Ernie now share in His resurrection and everlasting life. Mark and Rose Peter
