Earnest was employed for many years as a Union Pipefitter, retiring from Armco-Contech Construction in 1994.  In his spare time, he enjoyed spending time outdoors fishing and gardening.  Earnest always stayed busy in his off time and loved playing cards and dominoes with his family and friends.  As a member of the Steelworker’s Union, he had the opportunity to travel the US attending classes to learn more about his trade.  One project he was extremely proud to be a part of was building the large pipes for the waterfall scene in the 1993 film “The Fugitive” starring Harrison Ford.
