Ernesto served in the Army during World War II. Upon his return from the war, he met his beautiful bride and they married in 1948. Soon after, he began his 30 year career at Kelly AFB. His hobbies all evolved around home repairs and or upgrades to his own home and rental homes. In the week before his death, he worked on the yard to include trimming rose bushes and even sweeping a neighbor’s sidewalk. Until the end he was the epitome of a jack of all trades and he loved every minute of it.

What we'd give if we could say hello Dad, in the same old way, to hear your voice and see your smile, to sit with you and chat a while. So if you have a father, cherish him with care

for you'll never know the heartache, till you see his vacant chair.
