Dear Marianne and Carl and families,
I remember your Uncle Ernie from my childhood days on Shaw Street. Your mother, grandmother and Aunt Suzie were people I do not ever remember not knowing. The Christopher Family was a mainstay of the street when it was filled with all our Italian families. Those were the days! I send my sympathy and prayers out to all of you and may your Uncle Ernie be welcomed into heaven by the angels and saints.
God bless you.

To the Christopher and Anton Families:

Our deepest sympathy to all of you for your great loss. We all know if love could have saved him, he never would be gone.

A THOUGHT OF LOVE:

God looked around his garden and found an empty place, he then looked down upon the earth and saw Ernie's tired face. He put his arms around him and lifted him to rest. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb, so he closed Ernie's weary eyelids and whispered...

My deepest sympathies to all of Uncle Ernie's family and friends. My heart goes out to you. He will be sadly missed. I will miss his good cooking, great sense of humor, and his persistent stubbornness. I love him and miss him, and I will remember the good times we shared.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE CHRISTOPHER FAMILY...MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS SAD TIME. SINCERELY, JOYCE VLAUN AND FAMILY

I remember as a young child seeing my Uncle Ernie sitting around the table with his mother, brothers and sisters. They would be eating, laughing and playing cards. I think heaven can be a lot of different things to different people, but I would like to think that among other things, there is a large table filled with lots of good food, good friends, and a loving family with an empty seat for my Uncle Ernie that is filled now. Carol was waiting for him their and missed him dearly for there...

Dear Family of My Cousin Ernie the Duke, I will always remember the laughter he brought to us with his famous sayings when we were together. You will be missed my dear cousin. My prayers go with you and to your family. God Bless us all. Cousin Marie Bevilacqua and Family.

Dear Ellen, Angela and the entire family.
I had only met Grandpa Duke a few times but Angela was always talking about him and how much she loved him. We are so sorry for your lose. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
