So sorry to learn of Ernie's passing. I've been blessed to have had many role models in my life, including my parents,my three brothers, my wife and her entire family. I've also had non-related role models, and Ernie was at the top of that list. I value, highly, his guidance and his friendship. He was, simply, a wonderful person.

So sorry to learn of Earnie's passing. I've been blessed with having many role models in my life; mostly relatives, including my parents, my three brothers, my wife and her entire family. I also had non-related role models and Ernie was at the top of that list. He was a wonderfully caring and helpful person for me.

I was saddened to learn of Ernie's (Nana's) passing. I have been blessed with having many role models in my life; mostly family members; including my parents, my three brothers, my wife and all of her family members. In addition, I've had several non-related role models, and Ernie was at the top of this list. He was a special human being, which, I'm sure, you all know.

Ernie and Guilda have been the nicest people a neighbor could have. Our family has shared the fence line for more than 60 years. Pleasant, kind and conscientious are the best ways to describe Ernie. He will be missed, our sympathy to his family.

I will remember Ernie as an active member of the task force, which worked so hard in protecting the Centre from overdevelopment. He and my sister, Polly Heenan Sullivan, were quite a team. I have such fond memories of him and Mrs Siciliano, they were wonderful neighbors and friends. He was a warm, gentle and kind man and I'm so glad to have had the pleasure of knowing him and his family. My deepest sympathy to Angela and family.

Besides being an avid community supporter, Ernie was a good friend of our family and particularly of my dad, Bill Ripley. On one occasion when the Sacred Heart baseball team was coming through our yard as they often did on the way to the playground for a game, my dad had asked them to please stop this practice. When this had no effect, dad contacted Ernie and the practice of coming through our yard stopped immediately. We never quite knew what magic he performed to accomplish this. Indeed, he was no stranger to helping friends and neighbors in need. God bless him. He is missed. Mick Ripley

I remember Ernie from my student days at BC Intown in the early fifties and from when I joined him on the A&S faculty beginning n 1961. He was popular and sought after by students as a professor, and he was dedicated to the good of Boston College as a faculty member. May he rest in peace.

Fondest memories of a devoted husband and father, a committed Catholic, an intrepid writer of letters to newspapers, an exemplary gentleman, and a maker of memorable lasagna. (Father Robert Imbelli)
