Met him with my son and a couple of friends in 90, then again in 91 and 92 at Ho Ho Kam in Mesa for Spring training, He remembered us in '92. Truly a great guy. My son, now grown, went on to work in the Cubs front office. Said he was still a great guy. My son was actually a Cubs representative who "carried" his casket at his funeral. An honor he still relishes, even though he is now with the NFL.

I know Joey, his son, from Cubs camp. Another great guy in my opinion. Ernie was a childhood hero of mine and to meet him in person was definitely a highlight. He had me call my wife from camp just so he could talk to her. How many HOF players would have you do that. Such a wonderful man.
