Marcia and family --
I have been away and just learned of your dad's passing. I am very sorry. I know how close you were. May his memory be a blessing and inspiration to you.
It was great to see your parents and mine become good friends in Brentwood. Now Larry and your dad can play basketball together in heaven.
Much love,
Andee Scharf

It is hard to accept the loss of a special person like Ernie. His contributions to the society,as well as the preservation of Torahs abroad during the war time is amazing. He will not be forgotten.

It is a sad day to all of us. In spite of the great distance in miles, from Los Angeles to Tel-Aviv we managed to keep a very close family relation. He was loved by all us, and I am glad, we had a wonderful family reunion on Shawn's Bar Mitzvah several months ago, and with Maayan, our daughter, last week.. May his soul rest in peace in heaven.

We love you so very, very much, Grand Pa Ernie. Shawn has been so lucky to grow up with you being his very own Grand Pa Ernie. May the wonderful life time work, that you so tirelessly performed, year in and year out, through out your entire lifetime, of helping the State of Israel, and of helping the Jewish community, and of helping the Jewish elderly of Los Angeles, which was so very, very important to you through out your entire lifetime, be continued onwards into the future by all of the people who knew you. We all miss you Ernie, so very, very much. We will love you forever, Barry & Marcia & Shawn.
