He served in the Invista Fire Brigade and as an emergency First Responder. He loved his Charger Hellcat and had a need for speed. He enjoyed his trips to Las Vegas and Louisiana where he loved to win at Blackjack. There was never a challenge too big or too small, whether it was helping others out or answering questions before the contestants on the Game Show Network. He always looked forward to getting together with family and friends, especially bowling with his mom, Irene, on a weekly League or playing the traditional family card games. Ernest loved life and a good steak.
