i have never liked that prick! i lived next door to his sister Nette for many years. she was the nicest lady you could meet, then their was him .... i remember as a teenage kid yelling HI Nette as she was in her front yard and ernie was just getting out of his car in her driveway. i over heard him say "what that white mother****er want" as i was about to run across the street to go play with some friends. he gave me the impression over the years he was always a gruff and grumpy man . if he was not such an asshole i would pity him..
