Ernie became a dear friend for many years and we first met as congregants at Congregation Rodeph Sholom in Connecticut. Ernie enjoyed life to the fullest. We would meet every Sunday morning at the Jewish Senior Service Home, for breakfast. as part of the weekly Bagel Club, with about 15 old Jews eating and kibitzing for two hours.
He liked what I did for AARP and became one of my Safe Driving Instructors, teaching seniors how to be safer drivers.. He instructed both in Connecticut in the spring and summer and in Florida in the fall and winter.
The one thing that I wall miss most about him was that every night I would receive THREE emails from him, jokes, cartoons and photos. He was always ready for a good joke and laugh.
My heart and soul goes out to his wife, children, grand-children and great grand-children.
Ernie, may to rest in peace.
