William R. Ernisse, husband, father of two and grandfather of 6 loved to connect with people everywhere he went, especially military, law enforcement and firemen. He was always willing to give them a "thank you" and most definitely was proud to stand up for our Flag.
One of his greatest qualities was his focus on the present. He enjoyed every minute of life whether it was watching his grandkid's games, dance recitals or volunteering in various capacities for his Beautiful City of Mission Viejo.
Though he did not prevail his courageous 4 year cancer battle he lived his life with passion and gusto as witnessed by his volunteerism over the years after his retirement.
He will be forever loved & missed.
