Hey, Ernie! Mike Potter here. I recently received word that God needed your help more than many here in Earth. Though iur oath was brief I truly enjoyed our journey. Our conversations on government issues, healthcare, wellness, your broken ankle, just to name a few always brought insight and a laugh.
I'll miss our special conversations and you contagious smile and warming hug.

I hadn't been to the doctor in awhile due to finances but he was my physician. I just found out. It breaks my heart. He was so very kind and loving. I could not have asked for a better doctor. I will miss him.

Dr. Ernie has been my family's doctor for approximately 10 years. I will miss him dearly as he was such a great doctor and always treated me as though I was a family member each visit. His waiting room was always full and it was because there were many folks waiting to see the Big E! I will miss you and I wish you a safe journey.

May God bless and comfort each of you as you have blessed all of us. We too only heard of Ernie's passing and cannot begin to tell you what a blessing he has been to our family for well over 19 years. An amazing man! It has been an honor to have him in our lives. May God's love comfort each of you and, in time, joyful memories unfold.

Dr. Ernie was a great doctor with a great big heart and the persistence to get a hold of specialists if I couldn't when working for him. He was kind-hearted, taking whatever time necessary with his patient at the time, thorough, and extremely giving of himself. I have never had a doctor, let alone worked with one, or in this case three, that so loved the profession they chose and in helping others. What saints! His wife and two daughters were so loved, and just to listen and watch him with...
