I will miss Ernest. I first met him years ago when he brought a shutter in for me to repair, he had so many stories to tell. He also very happy to share his vast knowledge of shutter and photography and even would come by to my shop answer them in person. Such a kind hearted person...
Rest in Peace!

Ernest was a true gentleman and a well of knowlege. I never had the opportunity to meet him in person, but he generously shared his photographic expertise with many of us on line. I'll miss him. Rest in peace!

I will miss you Ernie. I enjoyed all the museums and places we went to around the LA/San Diego area. I will especially miss all the stories. You worked and traveled around the world; you had many stories to tell. I enjoyed every one of them.
