He also worked at North Penn School District for 10 years, and retired from SEPTA after a 25 year career.

He is survived by his father and mother, his two sons, Justin and Paul Kline, his brother, Daniel A. Kline and wife Judy, his two nephews, Kevin and Daniel Kline, and his niece Madeline Kline.

There are always words to say about someone. Sometimes you just don't know exactly how to put them, especially in times like this. I loved Ernie as a brother in Christ. I remember the first day we met at Upper Darby Transportation, he spoke of his faith. I enjoyed working with Ernie as his secretary He was strong in many ways, but his power of laughter and resiliency were incredible. He was proud of his two sons, Justin and Paul and his mom, Marie, was the best, and we spoke about our families often. I regret that I did not get to see him for one last time after my retirement from UDSD Transportation last spring.

Marie, Justin, and Paul my prayers go out to you and your family during this time of sorrow.God bless you always.
