Ernesto was Roman Catholic and attended church as often as he could.

As a matter of fact, Ernesto did home schooling to become a Master Electrician. He worked in the Philippines, the Middle East, South Carolina, Oregon, and Hawaii.

He was a very protective father and only wanted the best for his children. Ernesto’s pas-sion was gardening. If anything needed fixing or engineered, Ernesto was the person every-one would ask because he could figure it out for them and get it done.

Ernesto was a great husband, father, mentor, and friend. Ernesto is missed now and remembered always.
