Uncle Ernie, I used to visit him when he lived with my Grandmother Erna Paulien Riese, and lived with them for a half a year untill Grandma was put in a facility, then would visit he and Aunt Adell every summer, or whenever I had a break from school, from the age of 16 on, and he always made sure their was a case of rootbeer in the fridge for me. He was the greatest cook, and taught me how to cook eggs slowly to keep them light, fluffy and fully cooked. Bacon he would cook slowing in the oven. I could not eat his beef though as he liked it bloody rare. He could sit for hours watching the fooball games and at the same time filling our his orders for his job. He would expect me to use full table settings even if it was just Grandma, he and I. He did take me to Sterns Grove, and got me taking swimming lessons from a former Olympic coach. He was a hardworking man with the manners of a King. He scared a number of times with his gruffness but I got over it. I wish he were still here. I wish I could just talk to him one more time.

Dear Lord please comfort us during our loss and Thankyou for the time and opportunity we had to all know and love him. We are related to a person who lived his life the best he knew how. He was a marine and I see in all of us a determination to do well, and our best just like him. He never made fun of us or mocked us he was a respectful man. Dear Jesus help us make you proud of us. In Jesus name we pray amen

I used to visit Grandma and Uncle Ernie every summer or vacation from school. When I was 16 I lived with them. I went to Abraham Lincoln High in SF. I slept on a single bed next to my Grandmother ( Erna Pauline Riese), and every morning I wrapped her legs, walked with her, and she informed Uncle Ernie I was to get 15.00 a week. Uncle Ernie cooked for us and I set the table with five pieces of silver ware. Uncle Ernie always served salad first, then the other courses. He taught me the best way to cook slowly bacon, and cook eggs slowly stirring constantly. Grandma wrote a note to me in Uncle Ernies cookbook. We still have it. When I went home to visit Mom he put Grandma in a facility. I was so disappointed, but God works every thing out. The caregiver to my Grandma became Uncle Ernies wife. I believe Uncle Ernie made it to Heaven. Takes only the simple prayer..Jesus Forgive me of my sins and come into my heart.
