I'm sorry I'm just realizing that my mentor has went on to glory. I'm really sad. I had known Ernie since 1982. I know the family is still healing. Just know I loved Ernie. Be blessed!

I´m sorry to hear of Ernest´s passing. He was a hard working Administrator for our student program in Neurology at MUSC. I enjoyed working with him for several years. My prayers for peace and comfort.
