He loved to work. He began his career in 1944 at the former Studebaker Corporation. In 1956 he began a long successful career in sales with Stanley Enterprises and Michiana Machine. "Ernie" was so dedicated that he drove over a million miles during his career as a steel fabricating salesman.
After retiring he started his "second career" as a deliveryman for Expert Optical, where he worked until his death.
