"Carol & Larry Sodeman We first met Ernie & Judy about 25 yrs. ago and have followed them since. Mostly at Bosdyk\'s and then Valicia\'s. He was \"one of a kind\" never to be duplicated. We also had the privilege of having him play at a Family & Friend picnic one August. He was such a \"hit\" we booked him for the next year and the next etc. for 15 yrs. Whenever where ever he saw us he would always play \"Could I Have This Dance\" by Ann Murry and also \"Oh Carol\" by Neil Sadaka. He was a real Family man like no other, loved his girl\'s and grandchildren as is said To the Moon and Back. God Bless Judy and all his Family, I pray God gives them the strength to get through their loss with all their great memories. R.I.P. Ernie, till we meet again. If you see \"Richard\" there in heaven give him a hug and some \"Sweet Caroline\"."
