Address: Oceanside, CA

I grew up in Oceanside and know the Carpenter,Osuna families.  Through the years Ernie always remained very friendly.  He will be missed by many old time Oceansiders.  The best to the family.

To all the family, you have my deepest sympathy.  And what a great story on Ernie.  I feel so cheated to have never met him, but now understand so much more about where all the wonderful parts of my friend Margie come from.  We all press on after the loss of a loved one.  But they are forever in our hearts, minds and even muscle.    Long live our memories.

I first met Ernie in 1971 when I started work with the San Diego Gas and Electric Co. It was my pleasure to work with Ernie on his 3 man hand digging crew. The work was hard but Ernie made it fun with his constant jokes and the crews hole digging contests. Later on , I was introduced to Ernie's family. Pat, Greg, Margaret, and Judy. Ernie was blessed to have such a wonderful family., and it goes without saying he was equally blessed. We should all be so fortunate.I will miss him. But he is not gone, he is just in another wonderful place. He was a co-worker, but more importantly, he was my friend.

I will miss "occasionally" talking to Ernie & Pat @ TJs, Oside.  Being a pretty good dancer too, I missed out on ever seeing Ernie "in action" with you Pat, or others.  God Bless Ernie!  Amen!

I will miss Uncle Ernie & his amazing sense of humor. He was one of my very favorite people. My love to Aunt Pat and cousins Greg, Margy & Judy and family. Love you all,
Mary Whaley Clausen and family.

So sorry for your loss the Carpenter family is always in my prayers and heart

Gene and I regret that we never got to dance with Ernie in the past but are 
looking forward to doing it in heaven.

What a wonderful man and great friend.  My daughter always looked forward to seeing Ernie at Knight's events.  God Bless, Ernie.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Carpenter family.  Keep all the wonderful memories close to your hearts.

We'll miss his laughter and love of life and family.  He's with his cousin, my dad, Bud, and I'm sure they're up to their usual antics!  He'll always be in our hearts.  Love to all - Mark, Nancy, Matt, Nick and Andrew

Ernie was a great guy. He always had a smile and warm handshake. I loved his stories and the history of Oceanside he shared. We enjoyed a few parties with him as well. He could light up a room. I remember when he made my father a really nice tow rope, he had a talent with braiding. He and Pat would also visit my daughter's syncro shows at the Marshall Street pool. From my perspective, Pat and the kids had as good a father and husband as anyone could have asked for. We have lost part of the soul of Oceanside but we have his memory. I will miss Ernie but I am proud to have had him in both myself and my families lives.

You will be deeply missed, you are a special part of my life, I love and miss you! Hugs to all those special people you are now with!

We love and miss you so much Ernie - A,B & V

Dear Aunt Pat,
Uncle Ernie was the light in my darkness when my dad died and I know that you know how special he was to me and so are you. The two of you showed all of us family and friends, that love can last a lifetime and it has for the two of you. He may physically be gone but he will forever be in our hearts. The two of you made my life a better one for just being you.
I will always be here for you as I was for him. Thank You!
Love you Aunt Pat,
Cathy
