    I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Ervin. He had such a love, and excelled in athletics like his father. I played many a game in high school knowing his father would be there for us. His Mom was our GA director and Sunday school teacher. Spent many a night ( I believe they were call ‘slumber parties’ in those days , in their home, do not think the family slumbered. A wonderful family and it showed in their children. God bless each of you, and my prayers for all. CDEX
