God Bless You Ernie Harwell

Anyone who has grown up listening to Tiger baseball is in mourning this evening at the passing of a legend, Mr. Ernie Harwell. I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Harwell at Oakland Schools a few years ago when he gave one of his inspirational talks. What a wonderful man. He autographed a picture for my Mother, which is proudly displayed on the shelf in her schoolhouse. It reads, "To Eva, with Love, Ernie Harwell".

The tears we shed, we have lost a legend. God Bless You, Ernie Harwell...you will never be "long gone" from our hearts.
