Ernie had a career as an eighteen-wheel truck driver. Everyone would listen with amazement as he told stories of travelling adventures, driving goods across the country, and sometimes would bring people along for the ride. Anytime Ernie was impressed, he would shout out his signature saying "Damnit Driver" knowing that he gave his stamp of approval. Ernie touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.
