    My sincerest condolences to the family. As one of the three Ernie B's at the Raleigh Elks, I personally will miss having Ernie's presence at the Lodge. Ernie was always very cordial to me right from the beginning when I started working their 10 years ago as a bartender. Both of us being an Ernie B gave us an immediate bond. He will be missed!
