Obituary:
On Saturday, May 8th 2021, Ernest Victor Cardinale, loving husband and father of three children, passed away at the age of 89.
Ernest was born in Philadelphia on September 14, 1931 to Frank and Esther Cardinale. He spent his childhood and teen years there, and graduated from Overbrook High School in 1949. He loved team sports and excelled at playing basketball and baseball.
Ernest served in the Air Force during the Korean War where he worked in Intelligence and played baseball. After his Service, he went on to play semi-pro baseball, but left to start a long and distinguished career in the Graphic Arts Industry. He worked for Triangle Publications, Time Inc., Machine Chambon, Quality Photoengraving, and as the General Manager of Conde Nast Engravers, among others. In New York City in 1985, Ernest formed his own company, Satellite Graphics, where he consulted and supplied pre-press and printing for many different companies and magazine publishers, including Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
In his forties, he took up tennis and running and completed seven Marathons, including three in New York City. He loved jazz, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Billie Holliday, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. He watched golf, the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees, and he suffered for his love of the Philadelphia Eagles. An avid painter, he worked in oils, watercolors, and pastels, and combined his love of photography, jazz, and sports to produce many beautiful paintings throughout his lifetime.
Since his retirement in 2002, Ernest enjoyed his life of family, friends, jazz, travel, golf, exercise, and painting.
Ernest is survived by his beloved, patient wife of 36 years, Dora Braschi Cardinale, and his three children, Christopher Cardinale, Colleen Flynn and her husband, Rob, and Ernest “Boomer” Cardinale and his wife, Marie, and his grandchildren Drew, Caitlin, Connor, Gianna and Victoria.
He will be missed by all and his memory will be cherished forever.
