Happy Birthday Ernie. I know that you believe each day is another blessing and that each interaction whether a family member or stranger is a chance to be a positive influence. From the days of running faster than the other team and scoring to these days of loving and being loved. It is all good memories and good opportunities to feel god’s love and give that love to others. Enjoy and celebrate.

Time really changes perspectives and as we age, one goal is to become more understanding, more aware, more appreciative. I am so proud of who you are and the person you continue to be! You find happiness by the water and in nature, bring joy to those you love and even strangers, make those around you laugh, and apparently pulled some hell of pranks as an adolescence. Thanks for the love and support over the years and always encouraging growth!

Hey Ernie, I hope you are having a great birthday…I’m right behind you. I fondly remember the days when I was visiting Arthur and we would search the creek around your place for many different creatures. We’d trek over to the misssile display and play on them. We’d then come back to your place and gawk over the beautiful Mustang parked in your garage. Arthur told me you still have it! Amazing. So hang in there, enjoy YOUR day and stay close to family and friends. All the best!

How is that age correct - you can't be a day over 50, can you?!  🥳
I echo what Jenna said about your happy and jovial nature making every childhood and family event a little more fun.  Also, you were the one person whom I never not only didn't mind, but looked forward to randomly showing up and watching my tennis matches!  ☺️
I hope you have a wonderful day and year.
Love,
Holly

E mahn. I start with our time in the apprentice school where we met. Waditure Raheem, kippy Reed, twee twee twee and slide rules. So many softball games, road trips to mlb games and motorcycle trips.  I can still see you flipping over the handlebars in myrtle Beach.  You're the toughest guy I know. I remember watching you play rugby, some guy tried to put a hit on you. Next thing I saw was you throwing a punch at him. I could go on and on.  I'm so glad we're both swatting at golf balls. Just being out there with you is so good. Even when golf isn't. You've always been there for me with not always what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. 70?, dang man. I hope it's a great one with your family. Next round is on me brah. You da man

You are such an incredible human. I am honored to have had the privilege of ever meeting you. And then....you made me stronger! Not just physically, but you boosted my courage in a time in my life when I needed it most. You are the only man who, I believe, has ever truly believed in me, and I carry that in my heart.
Thank you for being you! This world, my world, is better with you in it.

First of all…Ernie, have a great birthday ole buddy. 70!!! At least 65, yes 6 effing 5 of those years we have been buds, besties! We could write a book on our early adventures. Tom Sawyer had nuttin on us. Two doors down and our mothers were besties. Coffee and cigs EVERY DAY! (Moms, not us). 15 months my senior you often led the way in so many “rites of passage”. Toys, games, GIRLS, music, sports, clothes and frat. Yeah we had our moments, fights, some physical, most verbal. But always best buds. And the most amazing thing? NO JAIL TIME! Remember the night we got shot at? The curved fenders of your bug were great to deflect bullets. Oh man-so many stories.  Really surprised we made it this far.
SO…..I am proud to call ERNEST CURTIS BURT III, my oldest, dearest friend even if he is 70 freaking years old!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERNIE!

This was the first time Dad held his grandson. Years later, Reed started calling Dad "Mandaddy". It's the best alternative to grandfather I have heard!
