Vivian I´m so sorry for your loss. It´s so hard to walk the path you´re walking. Put your trust in the LORD he is the defender of widows and father to the fatherless. Praying for you and your family. I wasn´t able to come to the funeral. I just had back surgery. My deceased husband Joe Mizerany and Ernie were really good friends. We loved Ernie and your family so much.

I´m saddened to hear of Ernie´s passing. We were classmates in 7th and 8th grades. Then I had the pleasure of working for him for 8 years much later. I remember in the 8th grade he sold candy at school and I just knew he would be the President of the US someday. He may not have been as I thought he would be but he was a fair man and was loved dearly. So happy to know I will see him again someday!! Much Love and sympathies to family and loved ones! Rest in peace, my friend. Janet Marlar Ramsey

As for my legal career, I would be nothing without Ernie Cory and Leila Watson. Ernie hired THIS young 25 year old black man when NO ONE else would. He didn't immediately hand me the keys; he wanted to see my work ethic. As i did, he allow me to grow with the firm; encouraging me to become a paralegal in the firm...allowing me to be the professional I am today. GOD bless you Ernie Cory, You will definitely be missed. Much love to you!

Ernie was one of the most caring, generous people I ever met. Whenever Cumberland School of Law needed support for a new initiative, Ernie was first in line to help, not only with financial support but also with his time and expertise. Ernie similarly supported charitable projects all over Birmingham. His passing is a great loss for the entire city. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. Ernie's passing is a loss for
