Ernie was a World War II Army veteran who served our country throughout Europe during his enlistment. Having grown up during the onset of the great depression, Ernie’s eternal optimistic viewpoint of life was intimated in one of his most famous quips “although it was the depression, nobody was depressed.” This childhood heartfelt expression was but one example and testament of the love and strength of the Bucci family and of the immigrants of this era.
