Ernie was a born again, saved child of God and of the Baptist faith. Ernie was born January 13, 1943, and raised in Cardiff, NJ, the youngest of six children. Ernie always liked to build things and tinker with things even as a child and was always into some type of mischief. After high school, Ernie joined the Army and was a helicopter mechanic with the 7th Calvary Army Aviation.

On August 19, 2012, he became an ordained minister and has continued to serve God in several ways. Ernie's next greatest love was his wife of 50 years, Hellon, and his family.
