Ernie loved spending time with his family, especially at cookouts sharing his "life lessons" with his grandchildren, relaxing on the beaches in New Hampshire and Aruba, catching up with old friends and enjoying a good cigar from time to time.
Besides his wife, Patricia, of 56 years, he is survived by his 4 daughters, Stacey Albuquerque, and her husband, Jose, of Andover, Alysia Valoras and her husband, Dean, of North Grafton, Andrea Desaulniers and her husband, Thomas, of South Glastonbury, CT, and Stefanie Moon and her husband, William, of Upton.
