Not sure what to say?

sadly I never knew him but I hope to join the army just like he did

To the Titus family, especially remembered, as parents with 4 children in tow, the Titus family rushed into church just in time and filled up a row. I observed this cute couple and realized this was the best job I could see: parent. Ernie carried himeslf well into the hearts of us as students at Roseville High and attend the class reunions of 1964 every 5 years for as long as he could. He will be missd

Jill and family, my thoughts and prayers are with your whole family. Hugs to you all. I will always remember your dad's laugh. It brought a smile to my face and will always echo in my mind. You all (kids and grandkids) are a testament to his life. He touched so many throughout the years.

IT IS WITHSUCH PRIDE AS I READ THE MANY KIND WORDS FROM FRIENDS WHO LIVES WERE TOUCHED BY MY DEAR BROTHER .ERNIE. ERNIE WAS THE 7TH CHILD OF A FAMILY OF EIGHT. HE WAS ALWAY A FUN AND CARING PERSON. MY

PRAYERS AND LOVE TO HIS PRECIOUS FAMILY
. WE WILL ALL MISS YOU DEAR BROTHER ALICE AND FAMILY

Our family had the privilege of spending a lot of time with Ernie and all the Titus Family here and in the summers at Lake Tahoe. He was a great example of living by the principles in which he believed- strong ties with God and a firm belief in the importance of family. We especially enjoyed his sense of humor and fun ideas to keep all the kids and adults occupied. We will miss you, Ernie, but know you are resting in peace. May your family find peace also.

My deepest condolences to the Titus family. Ernie was more than a teacher to me, he was an educator. His abilities to educate was never more apparent than when I was a member of his speech and debate team. His coaching style helped me refine my speeches and delivery so I could enter speech competitions with confidence. Even today when I am asked to speak at my own joyful and sorrowful family occasions, I think of Ernie. I will always be very grateful for the encouragement he brought in...

We became friends with Dorothy and Ernie as neighbors in Sierra Gardens and at St.John's Episcopal Church. Ernie was a wonderful man, a gifted teacher and a fellow native of Massachusetts. Our condolences to the Titus family.

Ernie was the single most formative teacher in my life. His tutelage over 4 years of speech and debate gave me the foundation in argumentation, logic, and public speaking that made me a critically thinking, nationally ranked speaker, author and stage performer, albeit somewhat sloppy tennis player.

I will never forget his cheerful demeanor, his concerned warnings - "That's a bad scene, Norberg," or the fact that "A fact is a statement which can be proven true or false."

Condolences to the family. He was a great man and a great teacher. He taught me so much and helped me grow as a teacher. It was an honor to follow him as PA announcer for Roseville football.
