Ernie could always be counted on for good advice and capable help when it was most needed. His vision and steady support in starting NASSCO and nurturing it in its infancy were well known and greatly appreciated by those around him at the time. Less well known but equally appreciated were his support and encouragement in helping us at Avanti in our infancy. It was an honor to know him.

To Keith and family, Ernie was to me a great competitor and friend at the same time. He was one of the most honorable men I have ever known. I remember delivering in the Mid 70's a Jet and Vac machine when he was first starting his business. I never knew at that time how long we would be associated. I was active with Ernie when he was working on the formation of NASSCO and felt he was one of the great leaders of our industry! May he rest in Peace! Steve Gearhart

May the beautiful memories of your loved one bring your family comfort during this difficult time. May God give your family strength to endure the pain of your loss. My heart and prayers are with you. God gives us a promise that we will not see them gone forever but rather reunite with them again. "There is going to be a resurrection," the Bible confirms at Acts 24:15 "Do not be amazed at this," Jesus assures us, "for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."-John 5:28,29
