Ernie was an incredible husband and father, and most enjoyed spending time with his family. He always made a point of letting his family know how important and loved they were, often by declaring, "I love this family!" His wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought him so much happiness, love and laughter. Ernie also enjoyed spending his time working and fixing things around his home. He was a great handyman and would figure out ways to fix almost anything. He also enjoyed going for walks, vacationing with family in Cape Cod, and watching old movies. Ernie was an active member at the Country Alliance Church where he had served as treasurer and on the board of trustees. He was also a former member of the Ransom Lions Club.
