Maureen Nelson 13th February 2009

The surf fishing pic is a classic. I remember being in that office at UNH and your Dad calling me to see how things were going in the office. I said to him "Ernie, where are you right now?" and he answered "Striper fishing" I laughed and told him that he is never to call me while surf fishing again! He had a hardy laugh about that. There were true loves that were evident to everyone that knew EFG - Carolyn, his daughters, and the arrival of Elizabeth- wow what a moment, and first and foremost his love of the Lord. I learned a lot from that gentle giant of a man. His testimony will live on. Carolyn, thank you for all the emails, I know that Ernie is walking the street of gold and in a perfect place. Such a peaceful thought. It was an honor to work for him and you are all in my prayers. God Bless you and wrap His loving arms around you. - Maureen & family
