I am very saddened to hear of Ernest's passing. "Meatpacker" as we called him at VSC was a loyal friend to many and will be remembered for his warm, friendly outgoing personality and his popularity being one of the most dedicated football players during our college days. Rest in perfect peace my friend. From Kahlita Morgan, Wash., DC

To the Harris family: We were truly sorry to hear of the passing of our dear friend, Rev. Ernest Harris, Jr. whom we affectionately called "Butterball." Our hearts go out to you. He will truly be missed, and we will especially miss his visits and "conversation" when he would come home to Rushmere to visit his mother and other family members. He would always stop by to visit us on his way back to Richmond. We pray that God will continue to bless, comfort, and strengthen all of you during this most difficult time. Hubert Jr. (Donnie) & Rhonda (Susie) Bradby, Smithfield (Rushmere), VA
