Uncle Ernest was a fine man. He had a lot of energy to play with us outside during our outings together at Grandmommies house in Ponce de Leon. You could tell he loved Aunt Dot and his children. He was always interested with what was happening in my life. He will be missed by many.

I worked with Mr. McVoy at the City of Pensacola/Meter Reader Dept. when it was located in the basement of City Hall. He was a wonderful friend and boss. He will be dearly missed.
My condolences to Mrs. McVoy, Randy and family.
