Uncle Ervin was blessed beyond measure to have had such a loving and faithful family, with emphasis on his beloved wife, Aunt Diane who stood by his side and honored their marriage vows. Uncle Ervin was a man of integrity and good character. May the memory of his life live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone whose life he touched. May the life he lived speak for him. A life well lived, may his precious soul rest in eternal peace. Your Niece, Avis Cocoa, Florida

To: The Long Family you all have me & my family's deepest condolences for the loss of your loved one. Ervin B. Long will be dearly missed as my former classmate, friend and relative. When we would get together for Class Reunions with our classmates that would have graduated from Union Grove High School in "1972" together if the school would have continued to exist, we all would have so much fun together reminiscing about the good old days. Memories are all that we have now. He fought a Good Fight, He kept the faith. βοΈ God welcomes him with loving arms. Rest in Peace ποΈ my friend βοΈ God bless your soul.ποΈ~The Hayes Family~

My brother-in-law Ervin was a great man. My sister Diane, his daughters Keisha and Maria and his two grandchildren Joseph and Maleah th were blessed to have him as long as they did. All of his family, in-laws, friends and coworkers loved and respected him. He will be sorely missed. Our prayers and condolences are with you all at this time.

Thinking of and praying for the family during this time of loss.
So very sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you during this difficult time. Just remember that "God is near to the brokenhearted and binds their wounds" Psalm 34:18 & Psalm 147:3
It is so sad to hear of E.B.'s passing. I worked with E.B. many years ago at Farley Nuclear Plant. We attended simulator training together at Shearon Harris plant in North Carolina about 1983. E.B. was the nicest guy and great to work with. My sincerest condolences to his family.
