Not sure what to say?

I just watched the episode of you on Inside Edition. You are an American Hero. The best of the best. Thank you for your Honorable, Dedicated Service, Sir. May you Rest In Peace.

I was saddened to read of your loss of Ernie (We always called him Tommy). At the same time it brought back great memories of our times working together at Scattergood. Tommy was well liked by all due to his good nature and practical knowledge. To those who worked for him he was a friend and not a boss, and his crews loved working for him.
I enjoyed reading about Tommy's Navy experience, which he never talked about. Tommy was too humble of a southern country boy to ever talk about...

I miss you so much grandpa. Thanks for being the best grandpa. I will see you in my dreams. Love you.
