I apologize for my late entry, but I just heard of Ernie's passing. I worked for Ernie for 7 years in the 1970's. I never had a better employer. He was always fair and understanding and I considered him a friend. He changed my life by introducing me to Eleuthera where I now have my primary residence. And he always allowed me to pursue my musical ambitions, even when it interfered with my job. I deserted the Dental business in 1984 after owning my own lab for a few years and made music my sole career, but I have never forgotten Ernie for his kindness. May he rest in peace knowing the positive influence he had on so many lives. - Posted by: Don Bouchat (Former Employee) on: May 15, 2012
