Ernest J. Berrisford

Hi, I was Mechele Schroeder, now Mechele Beczo. Even though Elizabeth, or Betty, is my cousin we always called her aunt Betty so we always called Ernie, uncle Ernie. I was very young when they got married. When we would go there to visit uncle Ernie was always very nice and very approachable. As a shy little girl, I never felt scared or threatened around him. He had a wonderful demeanor. As of real recent I have been thinking about him and wanted to contact him. None of the numbers I had,...

We have known Ernie since his days in Titusville and feel honored to have Ernie as our friend. We will miss Ernie very much.

Dear Nicole, Brian and Kevin,
It was an honor and a privilege to have been able to spend time with your father. He was a kind, caring and accepting man. He always made Devin and Dylan feel important, especially when they got to call him poppop right along with TJ and Taylor. We will miss our catch up conversations we used to have with him at Publix, Walmart, Monty's or where ever it may be. He will be dearly missed but not forgotten. With our deepest sympathy,

Ernie you were such an amazing person who lived life to the fullest. I can only hope when I reach your age that I can have half the energy you did! Your love for your family, for golf and for staying on top of politics made you the wonderful man you are!!! You will always be loved and you will never be forgotten!

Love you Ernie! Thanks for the wonderful memories. I will miss you!

I will never forget Ernie and all the concern and kindness that he showed me and everyone he had in his care. His advice and patience in healing me was beyond the call of duty and I will always be grateful. His wisdom-filled emails came almost daily and I always looked forward to, and appreciated, hearing from him. I am happy that he was able to retire to Florida and spend so much time with his family whom he loved so dearly.

I know it is a difficult time for all of you and now...
