Angela Hughes wrote a sympathy message

“I am truly saddened to hear of Ernie's passing. Ernie was a pivotal figure in my career. I learned a great deal from him that I have been able to apply within my field. Ernie's wisdom has helped me to be more successful. He had some amazing stories and some great zingers to lighten the mood or help any boring class- as well as more patience than we deserved. I appreciate the opportunity to work with him and to start my engineering career with one of the "greats". Warmest regards, Angela Hughes”
