I’m not sure where to start…😔 There were so many great memories. I got to know Ernie through my cousins. Ernie was funny and goofy. I can remember how when they hung out they talked about video games and sports and life’s goofy moments. How he and my cousins could make a movie you’d seen 200 hundred times so much more funnier as they knew the words from start to finish and the acting out of them hilarious. Ernie was always full of life and lit up the vibe no matter where you were. There were even a few times while in conversation with others around me he gave me a few bits of advice without maybe knowing he was but I feel he may have. Ernie was like that he never overstepped but he knew when to care. I wish I had the chance to know him a lot better . I’m sure it may sound cliche in this life when someone goes you often hear someone say “ he was a good man” I can honestly say with what I knew of him he strived to be this for everyone who’s heart he touched. You will be missed SIR 🕊️🕊️🕊️
