Ernie and I were on the finance committee at Glen Echo together. Not an easy job back in those days. Ernie always had a smile and a laugh that lightened the mood. Many years earlier when he was still in banking he was one of 20 bankers to turn down my proposal. I never let him forget it and we laughed together. Things have a way of working out. Miss you Ernie! YBIC. Mike

Played a lot of golf with Ernie over the years. Great guy. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Karen, I'm so sorry for your loss. We taught together at Pattonville so long ago.
I remember the fun times we had. You and your family have my deepest sympathy.
