May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. He was a vivacious and kindhearted man who made me feel welcome by the family I didn't get to know as a kid. He took care of my father in need and gave my father such respect at the end of my dad's life. I will never forget. Take care of yourself, Nina. Your father would want that. There's no replacing him, but it was a life well lived and he's gone on to better things no doubt.

Our sincere condolences to Nina. We remember with great fondness the many wonderful evenings of fine conversations and excellent meals with Ernie at his house in River Forest. It was also a delight when we were entertained with your fine piano playing, Nina. Your dad loved you with all of his heart. Please pass on our condolences to your mother.
