Ernest Campos Obituary
Campos, Ernest F. (Ernie) died on September 29,2019 after a courageous 4 year battle with pancreatic cancer. He tackled his illness his way; a testament to how he lived his life. Born in Cuba on December 2, 1946, he came to the United States with his family in 1960. He attended Manhattan College of Engineering. He was a businessman and a fixture in the Hudson Heights Community since 1969. Proprietor of Varcamp Supermarket and Cabrini Wines & Liquor. He was a lover of good food and wine and a confidant to many; always happy to talk about business, history, and the human condition. He was a devoted son, brother, and friend. He is survived by his loving sister Mina, brother-in-law Stanley, nephews David and Alec (Spergel), his loving partner Dawn Plyley, trusted friend Dean Ericson, and his many friends and neighbors throughout "The Heights" and the world.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family at the loss of Ernie. I lived across the street from them on Cabrini as a child and became to know Ernie, his Dad and Mom for many years dating back to the Bodega they owned and then in later years the wine store. Our families were friends. He will truly be missed.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
