Dad was the best Son of a Gun you could have had for a father, husband, grandfather, uncle or friend. He didn’t take anything from anyone and I never seen him back down even in the face of death. He was a fighter figuratively and literally. He taught us all to be leaders and fighters. A Nava never quits or runs and you stand by our family and friends. We will all miss our funny, caring, story telling DAD.
Now it’s your turn to tell Ernie stories.
