Not sure what to say?

I'm am so sorry for the family's loss. Although I didn't know him well, I was welcomed with a smile and a kind greeting. All those Sundays at the Hoagie Shop after church were met with a smile and kind words. Tiffany my prayers are with you and your family

Although I retired 5 years ago from the WV State Office of Rural Health, I will be remember Ernie as a hard worked and a friend to all. His smile will be missed by many.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Sincere prayers.

Ernie was that person you looked forward to seeing at conferences and meetings. Brilliant smile, big hug and a love for what he did. The energy he brought was just incredible. I am so sorry for the loss to his family and friends - prayers for all of you.

Tiffany, my heart ached for you when I heard of your loss. My deepest condolences. I pray that God will bring peace and comfort in the manner that only He can. Prayers for you and family.

Ernie was a wonderful person. He will be missed greatly. I will always remember the morning of the flood. I needed coffee. He made sure I had it. Prayers for Tiffany and Addy and all of his family.

Ernie has been a lifelong friend! We went through many fun times in our younger days.
