Ernesto was an amazing man with a huge heart and quite a sense of humor! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I was honored to be with his family these last few days. Seeing all your friends and coworkers gather for you (and your family) was quite a tribute to your life and the type of man you were. You touched so many lives and will never be forgotten. Neto,I am so glad we were able to work things out before this happened. You will live on in our hearts always.You were so special to us, we love you!!
