Cherished Uncle to Matthew and Megan Casella, Katie Casella and Jack Casella. “Ernie” was an employee with the United States Post Office for 30 years. FAMILY was everything to Ernie. His beloved wife of 50 years and high school sweetheart, Florence, was the love of his life. Their marriage was the model to their children. As their children married Ernie loved his sons and daughters in law (Tim, Jen, Kelby and Sam) as his own flesh and blood. They became his family. Then his 11 grandchildren: Christopher, Brendan, Aiden, Grace, Sean, Sophia, Kristen, Elizabeth, Caroline Julie and Jude began to come into the picture and his heart grew and they became the pride of his life. All of his grandchildren knew how very loved they were by Grandpa. Ernie would count down the days to his family’s annual vacation to Long Beach Island where many amazing memories were made with his entire family. One of his favorite things to do at the shore was make all of his grandchildren his legendary pancakes. Having everyone together under one roof was all he needed to be happy. Ernie will be deeply missed but his family will cherish his memory and continue to live by the example he set.
