My condolences and my thoughts and prayers to Ernie's family. I first met Ernie when I moved to Houston. Ernie took a chance on me and was my high school softball assigner for several years. His confidence and trust in me was instrumental in being selected to umpire in two state championships at the 5A and 6A level. He was a good man and I will miss him dearly.

Mr Ernie always had a smile on his face and a laugh that was contagious. We feel so blessed that God allowed us to cross paths and become neighbors. My favorite memory is when we made tamales together. I felt so honored that he “passed down” his famous recipe (; Our family loves Kay and Ernie like family. We will continue to check on Kay and be there when needed. Our condolences for all of his loved ones.
