WILLIAM M JOYCE wrote a sympathy message

“Ernie was the first person to befriend me when I started the 9th grade at James A. Gray High school. He was big physically, and he had an even bigger sense of humor. He was a really good football player; I had the privilege of practicing against him. He always beat me, and we both always had fun. In later years, Ernie would tease me about "beating up" on him back then, although I never made it past the "meat squad," and he was an all-star. Ernie was an achiever, and a good person. Mike Joyce”
