My son Michael and i had the pleasure of meeting Ernest at Fellowship Village, where my mother currently resides. Whenever we ran into Ernest there, he greeted us with a handshake and a smile. He had the wonderful habit of holding onto your hand while speaking with you. He was so warm and pleasant to talk to;a real gentleman. We will so miss seeing him there, and i know that the other residents and staff feel the same. It was an honor to have known him.

Our condolences to the Reisinger family. Uncle Ernie will always be remembered for being the wonderful person that he was. He always said the right thing, had a wonderful sense of humor and cared for all. He was especially admired for his devotion to Aunt Jean. I was grateful for what he did for his brother Ted. He will always be in my heart and prayers. I am proud and happy to have known him. May he rest in a truly deserved peace. God bless you all. My apologies for this belated condolence message. Love, Bill and Sharon Rapone
