Ernest (Tolleston '60) was 1 year ahead of me in school. I remember him as one of the "cool" guys. My condolences to his family.

Hearing of your passing really hurt me to the core. When Mama died you became a "bonus dad" to me and not just my cousin. You were always there for me helping me out in anyway that you could. From home repairs to cutting the grass to giving me money to buy food...you were always there. I was only 22 and that meant so much to me. I will always remember and cherish the memories and the love you showed over the years. You are gone but will never be forgotten. Rest in heaven..
