The theme that you hear over and over again with regard to Ernie is that he was a very humble man who had time for everyone--famous or not. He was completely without pretense.

I remember sitting in the press box at County Stadium when the Tigers came to play the Brewers--Ernie sitting in the booth with his familiar cap on--that great voice flowing out of the open booth.

The best of the best--and an even better person by all accounts.

My Dad & Mom listened to Ernie, they were born in 1914 and 1921.
I was born in 1941 and listened to Ernie Harwell on the radio at night waiting for the Tigers to win and get up in the morning to go to work. And my 3 kids born 1964,1966 and 1969 listening to Ernie the same as we all did, a wonderful man with a voice never to be forgotten.

. . . revolves around listening to Ernie on the radio many warm summer days and nights ago. He was also present while sitting with my grandparents during holiday gatherings on their front porch (grateful for every cooling breeze). Back when all things were far less complicated.

Your are going to be missed Ernie.

Sad, because it really only leaves Scully as far as the legends go.
