I knew of Mr. Jones only through the stories told by my dear friend, his daughter, Karen. I heard often of his times where he would take his granddaughter Emily to the radio controlled airplane gatherings. He will live through the cherished memories of his family for all time until they can all worship their Savior together. Thank you for your service to our country and for the blessing of who you were to your family❤

Ernie was a great guy and friend. He worked hard to keep our community a great place to live. We shared many emails about aircraft especially military and stuff I used to send him about Pan Am. He loved hearing some of the stories I told him about the years I worked for Pan Am and especially the747. I delighted to able to spark his interest in covered bridges. One day we drove around the Lehigh Valley visiting some of them Ernie loving taking some photos. He will deeply missed by his loving family and many friends.
