Ernest was born on January 12, 1929 in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Ernest went to be with Jesus on March 23, 2023 at 94 years old. He was a hero to his eight children and adored by all who knew him. He was velvet and steel; gentle and tough; a lover and a fighter. He was gifted in so many ways: He could play the trumpet, act and sing, and write and speak with authority and compassion. He was an artist and a genius. He played football in high school and was drafted by the Canadian football league. He went on to be an athlete and a boxing champion in the Army. Instead of continuing his football career, he chose to get a college education. He is in the athletic Hall of Fame of East Greenwich, Rhode Island. He went on to coach high school sports and teach biology and anatomy. He succeeded in the hospitality industry as well. He ran major hotel corporations and served as Executive Vice President of Brock Hotel Corporation, always exceeding ownership expectations. His excellence earned him the Man of the Year Award by the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, and he was honored to be the American delegate to the United Nations Hospitality Committee.

At the second of two public forums on proposed school building construction, school officials took extra time on plans for East Greenwich High School. The move followed last week’s public forum, where members of the public were vocal about their desire to see more resources and dollars poured into EGHS. In all three current construction proposals, the high school would be allocated $20 million for renovations.

$150M or $180M? With potential of more state aid, should panel consider higher cap?. The Town Council could not come to agreement Monday night on what the cap should be for a possible school bond referendum. Not that it is approving school bond referendum language now – that’s part of the challenge. What it has to do now is ask the General Assembly to approve a not-to-exceed number for a bond referendum the town wants to put before voters in November.
