Thanks, Jim.
Where did Ernie live?
What was his full name?
I might be able to find more info on the 'net with that info.

Gee that is a shock.  I haven't seen Ernie since the end of Frontier.  
So the picture in my minds eye hasn't changed...  I am sorry to hear this. 
Ernie was a very pleasant fellow to be with.
