Havn't seen or heard of Ernie since our Cheatham Annex days. Often wondered about him.
I know he had been in poor health for a number of years but still hate to hear of his passing.
Rest in peace shipmate. You earned it.

"Ras" was definitely from the "Old Guard". May he rest in peace. Ed Smock

Sorry to hear this sad news. Ras was one of the old timers and a really great guy.

Talk about "old-timers" It's been a long time since I've seen you in here. Hope all is well with you and the family.

Sorry to hear this. I worked with him at Dam Neck.

Yet another fine OT and friend has passed over. Ras was a shipmate at Arg 50+ years ago, and many great memories of those times. Farewell Ras...Fair Winds and Following Seas.

Our condolences to family and friends.
