NO!!!!

Tell me you're joking!

Sorry, the link is to a thread in a subforum of advrider that requires you to be a member to view. There were details given, just that he had died. I always enjoyed his insight here and at other cycling forums.

Rest easy Ernie

I'll genuinely miss his dry wit & humor, as well as his vintage pics in the 'Bikes & Babes' thread.

Sad news indeed. Rest well Uncle Ernie......

I PMed Jerry about the possibility of dedicating at least the last part of the Rally to Ernie, maybe pass his picture along with Godzilla so he is symbolically part of the ride.

I'll definitely miss his presence around here.

What are the details? Natural causes hopefully? I enjoyed his posts, quite the character and always had a unique insight on things.
Hopefully he had a good fulfilling life before passing on.

BobbyR · « **Reply #9 on:** June 15, 2011, 08:01:43 PM »

I know he was ill and his old lady took a hike. Maybe all together it worsened his health.

It will not be the same without him and his avatar around here. I think one of his grand kids drew it.

Very sad. A lot of us will miss that character, for real.

Maybe someone can blow up a picture of Uncle's avatar, it sort of is Ernie in a strange kind of way, well for us anyway....

If one of the mods has access to full size files of the avatars and can make up a pic, he send to my home address in Vermont. PM me for info and I'll make it part of the relay. Wheels up on the 25th.

#$%*. Ernie.....He was a good one.

So sad to hear that news, always enjoyed his input. RIP old mate.

Rest in Peace, Ernie, you're going to be missed.

scunny · « **Reply #18 on:** June 15, 2011, 09:59:05 PM »

shocking news. I too will miss his wit and those great photos.

The wit and wisdom of Ernie. You will be missed my brother. I'm glad we could be a small part of your life. May your final ride to the sky be peaceful.

I'd love to see a real life picture of Ernie beside his avatar which I always assumed is a self portrait. As Bobby has mentioned I think we should dedicate the ride to the memory of Uncle Ernie. Does anyone actually know Ernie or can anyone that had contact with him provide little bits about him so that we may have more to remember him by? Can a member of the other forum copy and paste that thread here so we can all see it?

Will be missed for sure....

Glenn would have to do that as the profile inf is held in the database.

I'll ask him
