Everyone is popular when needed. One measure of a person's quality is how many people are there to offer comfort, help, love, and respect when that person is beyond giving back even more than a smile. Ernie's quality was high indeed.

It's official as of 4:30am. He went peacefully in the end. It was my great honor to be holding his hand as he crossed over into limitless virgin passage. So much to say about this wonderful man. He had such a strong will, just as tough as they come, and full of human kindness. Gonna miss you, buddy.
