Memories and Condolences
for Ernest Endsley
December 8, 2014
Janice, Joy, Gay and Chad-
I was so sorry to hear about Ernie. My sister-in-law Stephanie told me about his passing. Over the years when we would run into each other I felt as thou I aged but he never did! Always cheerful and smiling - such a wonderful man.
My deepest condolences to your family.

Our deepest condolences to your family, you will all be in our prayers, i used to call Ernie Mr Platinum because some years ago we got into a debate about how old a car had to be before you stop bothering using platinum plugs. At the end he was right. He will surely be missed.

Sorry to hear about Ernie. He use to work on my first car, 1964 Buick LeSabre back from 1976-1980. That car gave Ernie a run for his money by having parts special made for it. Ernie was my first trusted mechanic and I look for the same mannerism in my mechanics to this day.
