I took Ernie's econ class as an EHS senior in 1974. Loved him. Loved his class. I learned so much from him. I think everyone in my class enjoyed him so very much. I wish my own sons could have taken a class with him. He'll be missed -- no doubt .
I will never forget Mr. Watt's good-natured teasing. He nicknamed me "Missy Mona" and "Mona Lisa," and I always pretended to be annoyed, but secretly loved it! He taught us to pay attention to current events and to understand our role in our country's economy, and he expected great things from us. He was a great teacher, and now he is home with the God that gifted him to students in Elyria. My condolences to his loved ones.
So sorry for your loss. I did not have Mr. Watts, but my mom did and she always said he was one of the best teachers she ever had. She's been gone 9 years now, so perhaps they are having a reunion. God's comfort to you.
Ernie, you have been such a dear friend since my high schoold days. It has been an honor and a pleasure to know you and Ruth, and Judy and Norm. One in a million! May you rest in peace. Judy and Norm (and Ruth): I am so sorry for the loss of such a great man. My condolences and thoughts and prayers are with you. Bill
Ernie, you will never know how many lives you touched, thank you for making us all better adults and citizens.
Dear Ruth and Family, Few people can say they touched the lives of so many like Ernie Watts. His challenging, caring teaching style helped build the productive futures of hundreds of Elyria students and his legacy will live on in those who were fortunate enough to be one of his students. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I was a student ot Mr. Ernie Watts. EHS, the class of 1981. I have great memories of his class and his stories! I never met his wife, but felt that I knew "Mama" from all of his stories. God Bless him and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Christine Buchheit Chesnover
For the best teacher I ever had, who openened my mind to the real word, Rest in Peace. TANSTAAFEL!
I will NEVER forget Mr. Watts, one of my favorite teachers. I do not live in Elyria anymore and my Mom called me to tell me of his passing because she knew how I adored him. He had such a passion for teaching,and we knew he cared about us. I feel privileged to have known him. HE WILL be MISSED! God bless his family! Barb Knerien Foos
My sincere sympathy for your loss. Mr. Watts was the reason I decided to study economics in college. Thank you Mr. Watts!
