So sorry to hear about your loss. Mr. Ernsberger was not only a great teacher (4 years in his Spanish class at HHS) but a caring coach, mentor, and chaperon (trip to Mexico in ’76). He was a great man and will be missed.

Shirley and I would like to send our Love and Prayers to the Ernsberger families in this time of Reflection and Healing. Ernie has touched so many lives, young and old, in the Heath High School Community and will be a voice sorely missed yet one that will live on in the hearts of his family and those that new him well.
