It is with immense sadness that we announce that loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend, Ernesto D. Plagata lost a battle with cancer on Saturday, August 11, 2018, at the age of 82 years. "Ernie," as he was known to all, is fondly remembered as one of the most selfless, generous, and kind-hearted souls who always went out of his way to help anyone in need. He never failed to share his positive attitude and wonderful humor with everyone he encountered. Although Ernie's unexpected diagnosis and rapid decline was sudden, it will be comforting to know that he suffered little and passed peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by his loved ones.
Ernie is lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years, Milagros, and their children and grandchildren, Cynthia, Ernesto Jr. with Tia, Tino (and mother Dena), and John and Anna, with Oliver and Theo. Memories of Ernie's will also be forever cherished by his surviving brother, many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends, both in the States and in the Philippines.
We thank all of you for taking the time to remember him, celebrate the joyous times we had with him, and for your support of the family.
Memorial services will be held on Friday, August 17, 2018.
