Billy and I are so sad to hear about Ernest. He will be missed at Windermere Presbyterian Church. He always had a funny saying for me every Sunday when I would go and greet him. Even on the phone he always could joke and make me laugh. God Bless you and your family. We are praying for all of you and your family. Love, Billy and Jeannette Ramsey

To the Daniels Family
I will miss Ernie very much. He was one of the best friends a person could have.
I enjoyed sitting and talking with him so much. He never complained about anything and always made me feel good.
We discussed his time in the Korean war, but he never told me about the Valor Award he received.
He was certainly my Hero
