I was blessed to have known Earnie at the WVVNF. He truly was a wonderful man, always had a smile and a story. I'll miss him and the sound of his laughter. My prayers for all who knew him. He will be missed

May GOD's love and peace enshroud all concerned. Junior will be missed by all. I know he was ready to go and he told me so several times. We will miss our brother and always love him.

I was saddened to hear of my brother leaving us to go home to heaven but happy for him. When we talked on the phone he usually said, "If I don't talk to you again I will see you in heaven." We always ended our calls with both of us saying, "God bless you & I love you very much." I will miss our phone conversations but I will certainly see him in heaven. My heartfelt sympathy & prayers for Nancy, Michael, Carol & families. May God comfort each of you. Love from Aunt Par

You've left me with so many memories! Too many to count! Every golf course I visit I think of how you'd voice your opinion of it if you were with me. I'll miss our fall drives to the Mountains. And your snickering opinion of others. Though rotten at times, your heart has always remained huge! You're such a blessing to have had in my life. I love you forever dear Grandpa Ernie. ??

You were always a wonderful Big Brother & helped me out of a lot of trouble at times when I was a little girl. I know you are at peace in Heaven now. I will meet you there. Your loving sister, Ernestine.

On behalf of all of Ernest\'s Masonic Brothers in the Clarksburg Valley Scottish Rite, I extend sincere condolences to all of the family members. Ernest was a true example of brotherly love in our great organization and was a member who lived the life worthy of the Gold Wing on my coat. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family at this time of loss. May God be with you and bless you all at this time.

Ernest always had a upbeat attitude along with a loving smile. Any person around him would break out into a smile whenever he would smile, speak and shake hands. If he met a stranger they would soon parts friends. He was a Great Man and we will miss him deeply. Our hearts and Prayers go out to all the friends and family of this Brave, Faithful, Prayerful, Kind, Gentle and Steadfast Man. We were BLESSED to have known him. Praises in Heaven as an angel "Ernest" gained his wings yesterday. Smile and celebrate the LIFE of ERNEST, family and friends even in our time of grief.

Ernie was my favorite uncle. I grew up knowing him as Junior. He came over to visit and we would go for rides in the country to visit family. He called me Donna Jean and now no one does. His passing truly is precious in the sight of God.
