Anita, Eric, Chris,and Brian,

We are so sorry for your loss. Ernie was such a huge part of our family and is so sadly missed. We loved his infectious smile and his laughter. He lit up a room when he walked in.

Anita, Eric, Chris, & Brian,

Words cannot express my sorrow for your loss. Ernie was a great man, a great husband, a great father, and a great friend. He was so many things to so many people and maybe most importantly he was a role model. Ernie's honesty, faith, hard work, and love of family are qualities that we all should strive for. Everyday.

He helped raise three wonderful children with his amazing wife and his legacy will live on through them and all of those who knew him. I for one will remember Ernie through Chris's uncanny ability to do perfect Ernie impersonations. And I will always remember Ernie on fall autumn days at Union Football games, wearing a Union hat and rooting for Chris and all of his "Union" sons.

Goodbye for now, Ernie. You have left the world a better place for having lived and loved.

Anita, I am very sorry about the loss of Ernie. Although I did not see him very often, he always treated like his best friend when I would talk to him. Ernie was a true gentleman and his spirit lives on with everyone who knew him.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a sweet and kind person. I first met him and Tracy and Bryan's wedding shower and he came right up to me and gave me a hug and thanked me for coming and just began talking with me as if he'd know me forever. That made an impression on me.

May 12, 2011

Tracy and Bryan, your dad's spirit lives on within you and through you to all of us, while he is at peace in a well-earned rest. May God bless and comfort you and your family as He welcomes your dad to heaven.

Bryan and Tracy, I am so very sorry for your loss. Though I did not know him personally, it is evident to me through the words an manner in which you both spoke of your dad that he was a wonderful and loving man. He will undoubtedly live through you, Bryan, as you are also a wonderful husband and father. Cherish the memories and share them with Avianna, who now has a special guardian angel.

Tracy Fiengo

May 12, 2011

We can't say these words enough... I love you. There is not one person's life who you have touched that will not miss you. Although I have only had 4 years with you on earth, they were packed with some of the best and most loving memories. The greastest blessing was you being able to meet Avianna. She will know you through the stories Bryan and I will share with her. You have undoubtedly earned your wings to heaven... now you can shine down on us from above.
