My uncle Ernie. So happy to have been able to meet you and your lovely wife a few times at the reunions in Ceter Ridge. My mother Mary Lee Zarlingo was your sister. I loved your stories of you helping her in the fields as children. I will make a donation to the church at Catholic Point in your name and in your honor. RIP
