Ernest William Sternberg III

Ernie,
I remember the cups of coffee and the conversations we used to have when I would come to your downtown office to say hi. Thanks for always being there to listen and inspire me.
I am glad for the time we had to spend together in January when I came to visit with John in the hospital.
I will also never forget the phone conversations we had that last week you were in the hospital.
But most of all, I will remember your example, your steadfastness, your perseverance....

Dear Graham and Whitney,

I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you both. I'm sorry to see such a great father pass away. He was truly the "amazing Ernesto" and it was a pleasure to have known him. I always knew I could count on seeing him at a band concert, waiting to congratulate everyone. He was filled with a charm and certain charisma that you don't see in many people these days. I will never forget that all too knowing sparkle in his eye. Don't forget that...

I had the pleasure of working with Ernie for many years at Advest. Simply put, he made it a better place to work. Whether he was helping solve a work related problem,or discussing the previous night's UCONN game, he always had the time. Ernie had the unique ability to relate to people on ALL levels. His positive energy was infectious and he carried the qualities that we all should aspire to possess.

Truly a remarkable person!

Dear Graham,
On behalf of the Lyme Academy, we would like to offer our condolences on your loss. Your father sounds like a unique, creative, and truly fascinating person. Knowing you, that makes perfect sense.

Ernesto was the Advest answer man. He will be sorely missed, not just for his infinite knowledege of everything, but rather his gentle ease with those seeking answers. Also, tho, he was considered "upper management", Ernie always sought out the celebrations of those who worked "under" him. Our loss is a great loss to those who knew & loved him. He is irreplaceable.

Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore

Dear Laura and Ken,

I am so sorry to hear the loss of a loved one. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

I was fortunate to work with Ernie for 27 years at Advest. For many of those years our offices were side by side which afforded me one of the greatest resources in the firm to draw on for answers to just about any question concerning any area of our Operations Department. Ernie was always one of the most accessable and knowledgeable people in the firm. It is a tragedy that he had to leave us so soon and I will miss his smile and warm prsonality dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to...

Rock-on, Ernie
