“I remember Ernie from my childhood, and had the pleasure of feeding him at my sister, Sylvia Toothman’s house a couple of years ago. He was a stellar human being, and I know how hard he worked for his family. I have always considered him a friend. Not the least of his attributes, I considered him an exemplary contributor of the West Virginia, let me say, “clear” variety of libation. RIP. Ernie. You will be missed”
