Ernie was a devoted husband and loving father to his three children.
Ernie was a quite man but his presence would fill the room when he walked in. He would help anyone in need and loved to ride and work on motorcycles. Over the course of his life Ernie owned over 145 motorcycles. He was a Maintenance engineer for most of his life until he retired in 2015. Ernie was a member of the Patriot Guard and proud to serve with the men and women who defend and protect our freedom. He was a happy go lucky jack of all trades and a mans man. He enjoyed life and would be more comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans than any thing else. The stories that defined this man are to many to mention suffice it to say that he lived a full life and never worried about what any one else thought as long as he was happy he was good.
