Ernie,

It seems like no time since I saw you last. I remember visiting you at work and talking with you just a few days before you left us. I still hurts to think of the moment when I found out you wee gone...I think of you often...Mostly when I am doing something fun or spending time with my children. I can NEVER eat chinese food without thinking about you!!1 You meant so much to me. It's coming up on your birthday soon. I wish you were here so we could all show you how much you mean to us. You truly knew what life was all about. I won't ever forget you.

Hard to believe it has been over 9 years. Memories of you deciding to go into law enforcement and watching UFC are so vivid as if they were yesterday. Those were great times! I will remember and never forget you my friend. Keep us safe and protected.

Whats up doc ;\....Man how time has flown by. Everyday I seem to remember that Bruce Lee smile, that night before BLET, and all the fun from Cop Land Apartments. I bet you are up there trying to have God tap out with a arm bar and you are still always the DD for the road trips. Good Night 59.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Continuing what you started is what always stays in the back of my mind, even after all this time. The best thing you could have ever done was drill into my head how to get to your mother's house. Don't forget, you used to say. You gave me one of the best friends I could have ever had. We were quite a team together and I really feel that your mother and I picked up where we left off. I know in my heart you watch over us every day and are so proud of everyone, especially your brothers. Your mother is so right in saying you go on, but never to be mistaken for getting over it. Just looking at this page with your picture can flood you with emotion that you forget is there sometimes. It is also a reminder of why we do everyday what we do.

It will soon be seven years since your tour of duty ended and I know the silent tears still flow from the broken hearts that were left behind. You have not been forgotten by those that love you nor will your brothers and sisters in the Blue Family ever let that be the case. I know if your mother could, she would trade places with you in a heart beat so that you could be here continuing on with your career that I know you loved. I would do the same for my son, I walk in your mother's shoes and know her daily struggle. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol. You are a true hero and heroes never die.

Ernie,

It has been over 6 years since your passing. Even though I met you just that once, I am still changed by your legacy thru your family's conversations after your passing.
I just wanted you to know that I still remember the life lessons I learned at your family's home.
Thank you for living as they taught..to be a servant of others.

Bless you and bless the Hull family

I check the ODMP page regularly. When I read that an officer is survived by parents, I can feel the all too familiar pain that I felt at 3:00 am when my phone rang. My heart was broken on January 2, 2000 when the Dr. told me my son Ernie was dead. As time passes, you are able to carry on, never to be mistaken for getting over it. That will never happen. Your pain is with you every day. A song, a comment or a memory can trigger a flow of tears. The same can trigger laughter. Ernie was after all the family comedian. He was proud of his brothers. Family was very important to him. I know he would be extremely proud to know both of his brothers are in law enforcement. My husband and myself hold our heads high because we raised three fine men. They chose the right path instead of the wrong one.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ERNIE

Ernie and I attended NLHS together, though I never knew he wanted to be a LEO. I will never understand how a life so young, so full of promise, with so much love and dedication to helping others can be taken so quickly. You are a hero Ernie and thank you for watching over those of us still serving. Rest in Peace.

4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends

Deputy Hull, thank you for your service and dedication. You will be missed and never forgotten. May your family, love, and everyone who loves you stay strong in the memories and love you shared with them.
