I will get back to you via PM its been a few year
Ernie found and moved onto the internet and found it wonderful we would chat often via msn and sometimes Ernie would make his own microphone
Ernie and Lucy would come over at xmas or my parents would go to their house. I should be seeing Lucy this weekend as she is coming over to see my parents for easter.
I used to live next him for years on Steiner Street. I used to go to him to get things fixed...all things electrical and I always think of him when I am rebuilding my PC or modifying my xbox. In fact his passing has influenced me to finally do these things for myself my parents and me miss him terribly. He used to call me Elvis. After Elvis Costello I think.

Ernie was my best man at my wedding as well. I seemed to loose track of him when he moved to Bury with Lucy and shortly afterwards he seemed to loose interest in Ham Radio and he never came on the air.
