Although I am retired federal LEO, my association with Ernie was because he was one of my golfing partners. I don´t think I have ever met a finer and a more honest man. He was truly a man of honor. His loss will be a hole in my life that will never be repaired.

Ernie Odom was the nicest and most compassionate person that I have ever met. He did not have to think about what was the right thing to do, because nothing but the right thing ever occurred to him. He and Sandra were always there when needed, asking how can I help? They are family, not just friends!
