I worked for Ernie at Revere in summers in the 1970s while I was at college and for a year afterward. He was the best boss I ever had, always happy, always good at what he did, and always fun to talk with. I still remember him often singing .And when they told me how wonderful you are they didn’t believe me. (that same line over and over). He came to one of my book talks at the Library there just a few years ago and it was a pleasant surprise to see him and get to visit with him before the talk. He was a terrific person.
Our heartfelt sympathy. We know he will be missed. Ken and Lorraine White
