Ernie,
You pushed my musical skills and my mind, challenging me to do better. All the while instilling personal confidence that has helped drive who I am by definition. Thanks, condolences, and glowing attibution are just not sufficient. Someday I hope to see you on the other side and thank you properly. I bet you , Mel and Arnie will have one heck of a trio going and the Angels will all call you Bear. Until that time, I wish you eternal peace.

Condolences to the family. Thank you so much Ernie for what you gave me; inspiration, encouragement, friendship... To this day music remains the light of my life and I know I would not be able to do the things I do without your guidance. Thank you.

Miles,
My condolences to you and the rest of your family. I've often spoke of your dad to my husband, as recently as last week. I fondly remember the band and orchestra days, and the many trips he took us on. He was a great person, whom I respected very much, that had a positive influence on my life. He will be greatly missed...

RIP Ernie.

My sympathies to the family. He was a great man. I had him from Junior high all the way to high school in the band. There will never be another one like him. He will be missed.
