It had been many years since I had seen Ernie was really nervous about coming face to face with him again. I walked up to him and started to try to explain, he grabbed me into one of his great big hugs he had always given and said it was okay, we are family. I can still feel that hug and hear his voice and always new, whether we talked or not, we are family. I`ve never stopped thinking about, and praying for, him and his family. When his health problems got worse a couple years ago, I prayed daily. I know dad was there to guide him to his eternal home. May God bless and comfort Ernie`s family and carry them thru the all the things to come. An absolute family man whose love was without boundaries, he will be missed. Lori
Oh the fun times we had in Sioux City when we had water fights at family gatherings. Great times with a great Uncle and family. You will be missed!!
Ernie and I spoke all the time when he visited the Fire Marshal's Office. He will be greatly missed. He always took the time to share a joke he had in his phone, tell me about the funny things his grandchildren had done, always asked how my son was doing and right before he would leave the office he would say "hug that little boy." We need more nice people in the world like Ernie with that big smile of his.
