Miles, Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. Take care, Dave Webber

Ernie,

You pushed my musical skills and my mind, challenging me to do better. All the while instilling personal confidence that has helped drive who I am by definition. Thanks, condolences, and glowing attibution are just not sufficient. Someday I hope to see you on the other side and thank you properly. I bet you , Mel and Arnie will have one heck of a trio going and the Angels will all call you Bear. Until that time, I wish you eternal peace.

I extend my condolences to Ernie's family. He had many friends in boat racing. We share your loss.

Condolences to the family. Thank you so much Ernie for what you gave me; inspiration, encouragement, friendship... To this day music remains the light of my life and I know I would not be able to do the things I do without your guidance. Thank you.

Miles,
My condolences to you and the rest of your family. I've often spoke of your dad to my husband, as recently as last week. I fondly remember the band and orchestra days, and the many trips he took us on. He was a great person, whom I respected very much, that had a positive influence on my life. He will be greatly missed...

He will always be remembered as the "BEAR"
RIP Ernie.

My sympathies to Ernie's family. He had a great deal to do with my music career. My band and orchestra days were wonderful at SHS.

My sympathies to the family. He was a great man. I had him from Junior high all the way to high school in the band. There will never be another one like him. He will be missed.
