So sorry for your loss. I am honored to have been one of his students. The martial arts world will miss him.

Debbie and family. So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

My heart is sad today having learned of your passing my friend. We shared a friendship throughout our school days in Hamburg and occasional met over the years since graduation in 1966. I thank you for your service, Ernie. My sincerest condolences to your family. You will be missed...

So many wonderful memories, so much respect and so much love for a wonderful mentor, advisor, and boss. Debbie, Ernie will be missed and was loved dearly by his "Kentucky" family. Know that we lift you and the family up in prayer. One day we shall train martial arts together again .
