My grandpa was the best card shark I ever knew. My love of games and golf came from Grandpa Ernie. I remember I called my grandpa one night and he said "either your getting married or you made a hole in one." He guessed it, I had made a hole in one! I am comforted to know that he will now be with my grandmother and my dad Dan.

Thank you to all those who cared for Ernie in his later years. He was a great friend, dad, son and grandpa and great-grandpa. He loved and cared for his family well. We will all miss him and his wonderful smile. Rest well, Ernie

I knew Ernie when I lived at home with my parents and Ernie and Martha lived below them on Amara. What an absolutely delightful couple they were. It was so apparent that they loved each other dearly and now they are back together again. Ernie was a kind gentlemen and a definite testament to living well and enjoying life. I'm glad I got to know him.
