“I wanted to inform you about the death of my family’s dear friend, Mr. Ernie Crosby. He was hired as a young teenager by my grandfather E.O. Berry to work at the car lot. He worked there for 58 years. He was the kindest man I’d ever known”
So sorry to hear of the passing of “Little Ernie”. I worked with him for many years at the car lot. We shared many, many good times and some bad times there. He was ‘one of a kind’, always there to help you. Georgie Brown
