Ruth,
I just heard about Ernie's passing. My heart is broken and I have tears in my eyes as I type this. Ernie was like a second father to me. He taught me so much. We had great times together. He always had a smile on his face and a silly joke to share. Whenever I would come home with one of those jokes, Cindy would always say
" You were working with Ernie today, weren't you?" I will cherish his friendship forever and will never forget him.

Ruthann,It was a great pleasure to see you and Ernie at Pauline's recent birthday gathering. Needless to say,it was with great sorrow and shock that we heard Ernie had passed away.

We will always remember him for his wit and good humor which he did not abandon even under his constant physical duress and illness.

Ruthann,
We are so saddened to hear of Ernie's passing. What a great guy he was, always smiling and ready with a joke or two. I remember how excited you were when you first started dating him, back when my Dad worked at NBMA, and I was there for summer work. I was so happy for you. May you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you have to share.
God Bless.

Dear Ruthann,

I remember Ernie when he came to our house for the first time. We all took an instant liking to him. He will always be remembered for his kindness and sense of humor. He always made us laugh. I will never forget the nickname my kids gave him. He will always be remembered as Mr. Pappy. Thank you for sharing his life with us. Our lives are forever changed for knowing him. We will keep him near and dear to our hearts always. So it is with heavy hearts we say until we meet again Mr. Pappy, save some jokes for us. May God be with you at this time Ruthann and may He give you the strength you need in the coming days. God Bless my friend. Love, the Winch's
