Jr., Annie Messina, and Gus Mazzella; six grandchildren; a sister, Sylvia Sandolo; and Maryanne Gutowski, the mother of his children.

He was a plumber by trade and owned his own business in Babylon, New York. In his later years, he enjoyed part time employment at Walmart and Lowes, and served as a Security Guard. He had a love for Dobermans, and he raised them throughout his life. His love for the NY Yankees was evident, as he always sported a shirt or baseball cap cheering on his favorite team. Ernie was always the life of the party with his quick wit and spontaneous humor. He will be truly missed by those who knew him best.
