Ernest was extremely proud to be called a Veteran. Serving in the US Army from Dec 1968 to June 1971, he served in Vietnam

Our Hero was devoted to his family, his four children, Yvette, Jennifer, Phillip, and Jenny, two grandchildren a brother and sister. Ernest was employed by the US Postal service for over 20 years.
