Whenever my daughter Lova bops her head to the radio or claps her hands to a beat or sings love songs on daddy's guitar we know Ernest Outlaw's blood and cool style lives and breathes in Sweden. We are all sad here that we didn't know you better Uncle Ernest, but I, Ralph, am touched to have known you at all. Rock On! And thanks for the music.

Dear Joyce,

My thoughts and prayers are with you Joyce in the lost of your companion & friend Ernest.



Love you,

Rest In Peace dear Uncle Ernest. You have brought much beauty into the world and I have admired your art my whole life. Your suffering is now over and for that I am grateful. My love goes out to Joyce my cousins Monica and Barbara.

Dear Barbara & Monica,

My memories of your Dad, my one and only Uncle Ernest/Brother, are long and sweet --beginning with a train ride from Oakland to L.A. under his supervision. Ricky and I were so impressed with his imposing presence --in military uniform! I won't fill the guestbook up with reminiscences, but I do have a cherished trove of stories. As you know, in addition to being a fine musician, your dad was a master storyteller with a great sense of humor. I feel blessed to have known him, and I trust that --even as you grieve his loss-- you must be smiling amd beaming with pride!

Love,

Tam

With much affection and fond memories of Ernie.

Barbara, Monica, Joyce, Montie and Marilyn my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families at this time of great loss and sadness. Ernest will always be fondly remembered and dearly missed as a great father, brother, uncle, husband,companion and grandfather.

I know he is in good company with other hip jazz cats such as Sassy V., Ella F., Miles D., Dizzy G., Carmen M., Nina S., Joe W., etc. and so many other (too many to mention here) truly great lovers of traditional straight ahead REAL JAZZ!!

Ernie has had a full and rich life here on earth and now he has gone to the next level to be reunited with his family, friends and fellow musicians who dearly love and cherish him.

Ernie is in peace for all of eternity and he will always be missed and in our thoughts everyday.

Dearest Monica and Barbara,

I can't tell you how many good and some even funny(!) memories i have of your dad. he was so kind and sweet to me and i was such a dorky country bumpkin (you know, hay stickin outa my pants), but he showed me kindness anyway. although, occasionally he did get after us if we were too crazy!! he has left an impact on all who were privileged to know him, and you guys are a proud legacy to him.
love & kisses,
rosie

Monica & Barbara, my condolenses to you both. You were so blessed to have your dad around for his 75 years of life-he lived to the age promised to men by God. Know that I am there for you-just call or come.

Peace Be With you Always; especially during this time of Remembrance.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Bertha & Frank
