Condolences
I had the pleasure of working
I had the pleasure of working with Ernie at GTC in NewJersey for many years. I also knew him in West Chester.
He was a nice man whom everybody liked. He was a hard worker and never complained about his health -- he just kept on going.... I enjoyed hearing his stories about family. He would tell me about his children, brothers and talked about his mother before she had passed. He would always tell me of another relative he meet when he went back home -- I was from Downingtown so it seemed like we were just both from the "same neck of the woods". I last saw him at his retirement party where he said he was going to spend his time fishing. My co-worker John kept me updated on his health issues.
My condolences to his family. May you feel comfort that he is not suffering and at peace.
Ernie: take care my friend -- until we meet again! - Hope you get some fishing in with your son....
