I served him a drink about 18 years ago and got to talk to him for well over a half hour. Great guy. I will always remember "he just stood there like a house on the side of the road and watched that one go by"

A sad day for baseball indeed.

I was very greatful to be able to meet him at the Detroit Press Club and watch him announce at Briggs Staduim when I tagged along with my Dad who worked for a TV station no other word to describe him other than as an Exceptional Genetleman
RIP in the Feild Of Dreams Ernie

I said a prayer for his wife Lulu and the rest of his family. He truly was a legend. Anyone who heard him call a baseball game will never forget his voice. From what I've heard in an interview with Ernie, he was not shy about his faith. May God welcome him into heaven with open arms. We will miss you Ernie!
