He was a special guy. Always ready for an adventure and most importantly a real friend. Still miss him and remember good times.

Spent many great adventures with Ernie as 15 to 20 year olds. Great guy, best driver of us all and could rebuild a transmission with a screw driver and a hammer . Will always think of Ernie with real affection and was so glad to visit him a couple of times in the last 8-10 years.Picture is about 1950/51 on way to Ohio on a "road trip"
Go with God buddy !
