My dad was a wonderful father. I attribute my sense of humor and looks because I am his mini me. I will miss him greatly. He was part of the Foster Farm family and I know many who worked with him will miss his loud voice. He also spend many years helping the Atwater Falcon band even after I graduated. My father was such a blessing in my life. Until I see you again, come visit me in my dreams. Love you!

Ernie will be missed by a lot of people especially me and my family. My brother Aaron and I called him Uncle Ernie and his daughter Kelly or cousin. I remember when I was little my mom would take my brother and I to go to Uncle Ernie's house and Winton and go some of his house he had to slide that I like to go on it was fun. Ernie would always go to our family parties, he also was involved in my dad's bicycle riding trip for MDA following a party at Al's right there and Winton. It was really fun that day. I'm ever going to the Foster farm picnics and seeing all the truck driver, all the nicknames that my dad Wesley and Uncle Ernie would tell me they had for the drivers. Uncle Ernie was always positive and Aaron and I. I remember in high School I was ready to drive and Uncle Ernie had this beautiful trans am car it was silver with glass t-tops that was his baby. I remember we were at his house and they gave me the keys to drive the car because you know I always wanted to drive it so bad. And I had to take I think Erica to go get diapers for the baby. And I remember we had gone into a car accident in Atwater. I was so scared of what Uncle Ernie would say. He was upset but he said as long as we didn't get hurt the car could be fixed. I love Ernie like an uncle, he knew me since I was a little kid actually since I was a baby. Uncle Ernie I will miss you say hi to my brother Aaron I give my hug for me. I love you Rest in Peace.
