I have many great memories of my grandpa like the times he would take me to the lake or into McDonald’s when I was just a little boy. Perhaps the time when he would call me every time the Broncos and Raiders played and tell me he was a Raiders fan. I have a lot of memories with my grandpa, but the one I love the most which, when he would sit down and have a serious talk with me about life. He would tell me about what it was like when he traveled overseas to fight in the war or how life was on the farm. My grandpa was filled with wisdom and was a hard-working man. He was the hardest fighter I knew, and didn’t stop fighting until his last breath. I love you grandpa and I know you’re in a better place until I see you again, may you rest in my heart, I love you grandpa.

My favorite memory of Grandpa Ernie was my first Christmas with him! Grandpa loved Christmas time! For me it was amazing to me to see the look of excitement on his face when he was about to open presents followed by a look of love and joy when he would hand out the stack of envelopes with money in them. To see a man of almost 70 years with the joy of a young child on Christmas was truly the best gift of all.

I have so many fond memories of my Grandpa and I could write a small book about the man he was. He always loved when his family was all gathered together. He always made sure there was an abundance of food on the table and he worked harder than anyone I know. My fondest memory is when he saved hundreds of cans and bought me a brand new bike with the money. He sacrificed so much to provide for his family through the years. He taught us to work hard, to become selfless, and that if we freely give it will always come back to us. 



I consider myself vey very lucky to have known Ernie. 
He had a heart of gold, a heart as big as a mountain.
Ernie was "always there" for anyone who needed help. 
He lived a long life. He lived a very full life.
Our lives are now diminished, but Ernie is now at peace.
Descansa en paz.
Rest in peace.

When tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand, That an angel
came and called my name, and took
me by the hand; The angel said my
place was ready, In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind all
those I dearly love. But when I walked
through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much
at home, for God looked down, smiled
at me, And told me
"Welcome Home."
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart, for every
time you think of me, I'm right
there in your heart.
I found this and thought of my beloved Uncle Ernest.  I will always remember the fond memories he left me with.
