I can’t believe it’s been 7yrs sense we lost my cousin Ernest. It was a Blessing to have known him while he walked this earth. I know he is with our Heavenly Father who loves him unconditionally. May God continue to Bless Ernest’s love ones he lift behind.

I am only learning of Ernests passing in 2020. I worked at Old Saybrook Middle School when Ernest was a 5th grader. I was only 18 at the time and ADORED him as a student in the class I was a teachers assistant in. My heart breaks to learn of his passing. Ernest will forever make me smile each time I think of his upbeat personality and his smiling face. I am so sorry for your familys loss.

Big Ern, I remember when we played ball and worked together at pizza Hut in our high school days. It saddens me to hear your gone but God has another angel in heaven now. He has called upon you for only he knows the reason. You will be missed old friend!

Ernest was a good man, he would always have that look of joy on his face. He brought me and my family a lot of joy as we watched him play basketball during his High School years.We're going to miss you Ernie. God Bless.
