I received a phone call this morning from our Aunt Zoe Acosta that our uncle, Earnest Acosta passed away this morning, Sunday, July 20. Sad News. Uncle Earnest was the last of Mom's (Grandma's )brothers to pass away. I'm sorry that I could not find a picture of Uncle Earnest without spending a day or two looking at my old pictures to try to find one. If any of you find one you might post a picture of him. I'm not sure of his age, but I blelieve he was around 80 or so.
The old saying that I can remember of Uncle Earnest was that after he moved to California (in his younger wild days) he would drive to Fort Worth for a dance on Saturday then be back to work in California on Monday. Uncle Earnest worked for over Forty years at Douglas Aircraft which changed to McDonnel Douglas and now currently Boeing. Uncle Earnest worked on many aircraft including the DC-9 and MD-80. Please pass this news on to those who may not be on the blog.
Condolences may be sent to Aunt Zoe and the family to:
3141 Chatwin Ave.
Long Beach, CA 90808-3605
Phone No. 562-425-2775
Date and time of services and burial are pending, but Aunt Zoe said there will probably be a service in Long Beach and butrial will at VA Riverside National Cemetery, Riverside, California.

Thanks for the info Eddie. I can barely remember him. When would have been the last time he came to Texas and for what. Do u remember?
Gosh I can't remember. The last time I can recall they (Uncle Earnest and Uncle Fermin)went to see Mother in Knox City after Daddy died so it has been at least more than ten or twelve years ago. As far as I can remember, he never took vacation, worked through Christmas vacation and always worked overtime whenever there was overtime available. When there was a strike, he even went and worked at the docks as a longshoreman.
