Ernst was a wonderful physical education teacher in Mehlville Schools. He was very kind and supportive to the students, and a friend to so many other teachers. He touched so many lives during his 30 years of teaching. So sorry to hear about his passing.
My most sincere condolences!! I lived right down the street from the family. He was a great PE teacher, so kind!! May he RIP!! My thoughts and prayers are with the family!! 🥰🙏💪
