He worked for over 25 years as an accountant for the State of Maryland. Ernest was a loving and dedicated husband and father who worked hard his entire life to provide for his family despite a very modest upbringing. He always put others first, and did some much for others. He loved working with his hands and did amazing renovations and fixer-uppers. He loved comics, cartoons, mathematics, painting, writing, and being outdoors. He was a quiet, strong, and loving man. He turned no one away who asked him for help. He was affectionately known as Kashope Pe and/or Splash.
