I am grateful and fortunate to have crossed paths with a man genuine enough, kind enough and ruthless enough to share hours upon hours and hours of his time patiently listening to the perils and whoas of one sad, “Pathetic” young lady. I can hear his laugh, I can only imagine what he would say at times and this makes me smile and remember the many Sunday’s shared and treasured forever in my heart. My sincere thoughts and prayers are sent to his son and his sister whom he spoke of often. He gave a gave a priceless gift to those who listened..A Gift that I will forever treasure.
I am Ernie’s cousin. I woke up this morning at 5:00 am and I dreamed of my grandfather for the first time since his death. I know that it was a message to me that Ernie is with our family on the other side. Our time here is short, when we go…it will be like one big happy reunion. Uncle Abe,Connie, Ernie, Grandpa, Grandma…will be there to welcome us…as well as a lot of our family that I have only heard about in stories. The memories that I have of Ernie is mostly when I was a kid. Playing pool with him and my brother Robert, while June would entertain my little sister Lisa. Then having a great Dinner that the family would cook upstairs…those were the golden memories I have at their home on Beacon Hill. Grandpa…loved his brother, Uncle Abe…and that’s what I remember the most…the love of family.
We seperated after High School…and I lost contact with him. Occasionally I would see him Downtown, and the last time I saw him he showed my a picture of his son. He was a proud father. We all have our little battles in our lives…and I understand that he came out of it victorious and helped others that continue their fight. That was Ernie..as a child he was giving, and that followed him through adult-hood. I will miss my cousin, but I know that I will see him again.
I have so many fond memories with him in just the short time I was able to have him in my life. Coming into recovery, He is the one I trusted the most and could speak of anything too. Just his little smirks followed by that shocked look and “what” is one thing that keeps me smiling!! I love you Ernie!
It was a pleasure for me to know and work with Ernie at Washington Memorial. He always greeted me with a smile. He would always be sitting in his car at lunch and when I would drive by to go to lunch, we would always share a wave to each other! My condolences to all his family, you are in my thoughts and prayers!

God Bless
I was so lucky to have Ernie as a friend and advisor in my life. He helped me in so many ways on my spiritual journey. He made a difference in countless numbers of lives through his experience, strength and hope and actions..
I will miss you always you deserve your rest my friend goodbye….
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, it is such a tragic thing, but I wanted to offer the bibles encouragment at Psalms 72:12 & 13, and also Revelation 21:3&4 I hope this will bring a measure of comfort to your family. And may the God of all comfort be with your family.
My Deepest Sympathy,

Ernie was a pleasure to take care of. We shared the same taste in music and enjoyed talking about the various jazz artists. He was a very bright spot in the unit and he will be greatly missed. I am sorry for your loss.
I would look forward to Ernie coming in to the center on Tuesday Thursday, and Saturday. I could smell him as soon as he walked in the door. He was such a nice man, I will really miss him.
I am having a difficult time placing words to my feelings… To know Ernie was to love him. Those that were given the honor of his friendship were blessed. I thank God every day for placing Ernie in my life. Three days before he passed he had told me and a few others…you have to tell those that you love, that you love them, because you never know if it will be the last time you see them. I had heard that many times before but it never sunk in like it did that evening. I will honor him by not morning his death but by celebrating his life. He was a wonderful man who will be deeply missed. Lots of hugs and prayers, Cheryl T.
