Deepest sympathy and Hope the best for you and your family.
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I was working at the Big Three Nederland plant when Ernie came. He was a great person to work for. He also approved my transfer to Victoria while he was plant manager. For this I am truly grateful. He was a great man.
God bless you all.
