There aren't enough positive adjectives to describe Ernie. Kind, honest, brave, loyal, generous, and the list goes on. Also his quick wit and mastery of words could make anyone and everyone laugh. I was privileged to become friends with the close and loving couple of Ernie and Linda. I will miss him. Joan Brody

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Linda, Tammy and Francis (Jing)for their loss. Ernie was a very funny guy and well loved by most that knew him and will be sorely missed. May God Bless you all and may God comfort you during your time of grief>
