Ernest J. Offredo Jr.

This past week I received the latest edition of the Ball State Alumni magazine. With sadness, I read about Ernie's passing in May. We shared classes at the high school and college levels. His smile lingers in my mind. A first rate guy that will be missed by many.

Josie, Selena, and Haven-
We are so sorry to hear of Ernie's passing. We remember the years spent at St. Catherine of Siena. We always enjoyed talking with all of you and working together for the school. Our sincere sympathy.

I flew a trip with Ernie in October 2003. That was the only opportunity I had to fly with him, but he stood out to me because everyone we ran into knew him and genuinely liked him. A few even expressed to me how much they liked working with him. I was impressed by the positive influence he had on those around him.

I am sorry for your loss.

Josie--

I'm very sorry to hear about Ernie. He and I were very good friends in high school and Ernie spent many hours at our house which was only a block from his home on Indianapolis Blvd. He was a wonderful person and I really enjoyed our friendship. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers
