Ernie was blessed to be raised in a family being one of ten children. Raised in Baltimore, during his early years on Paine Street, then East 26th Street during his teenage and young adult life. He attended City High School, and worked as a teenager at a local grocery/meat store, where he learned a trade as a meat cutter. Growing up as kids we never realized we were poor because of love of family.

Ernie served in the US Army from May 1964 to May 1967. He was honorably discharged and returned home. Ernie returned to the local grocery/meat store, which he achieved his goal to own. During this time Ernie helped the family by ensuring we had food on the table. Ernie moved on and became the top meat cutter for Baltimore Food-A-Rama (Second largest food chain in MD in the 1980’s).

Ernie retired after a work related disability. Ernie enjoyed life – his interaction with his beloved brothers and sisters along with our large number of nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A few years ago Ernie moved to New Jersey to stay with Dennis (Sam), Chris Green and our greyhounds. He loved the boy’s, he would sneak food from the table and give them treats all day long.
