    I met Mr Borgnine at a gas station in Victorville CA back in the 90's, he was very nice and very down to earth. I asked him where he was headed and he said "Las Vegas for the weekend". No "Star Trip" with him, just a good man who was more interested in me and who was kind and treated me with respect. R.I.P. Mr B.

    My neighbor was in college and worked as a parking valet in Beverly Hills. Ernest Borgnine was a regular patron of the restaurant my neighbor parked cars. He said Ernest Borgnine always encouraged him to finish school and was a great tipper. When My friend told him he was graduating a couple years later. Ernest Borgnine gave him $200.00 dollars before he went into his car and whispered "I'm proud of you." The day my neighbor found out Ernest Borgnine died, his wife told me he cried. Class act Ernie.

    Dam, in 1963 I was TAD in Fallon NV waiting to go to TI in San Francisco to Radarman School. I remember going to the EM Club and watching McHale's Navy as it was new and we had no TV's in the dorms. The show had just started and was a big hit with the men in the Navy. It would have been fun to met this wonderful man before he passed away.

    I remember in a couple of his movies he played some really nasty characters (Convoy, Emperor of the North). He was actually a gentleman and very down to earth person.

    You could see he was genuine. It came through the screen. I always liked him.
    Most of his generation lived through the depression were like him, they enjoy life to the fullest.
    He orders my favorite ice cream at DQ.
    RIP Ernie. Thanks for the memories.

    This man is right up there with Burgess Meredith, on the list of departed actors I miss so much. “Marty” is one of my favorite classic films.
    So great to see he was so genuine and likable in real life as well. Thanks for sharing this.

    My family were RVers when I was in high school. Ernest Borgnine reminds me of my father so much. This was our life, and he was just like that. Everywhere we went, he was meeting and talking to the people we encountered.

    • @rvserious8317
      @rvserious8317 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mine too. After my father retired, he also made several solo RV trips across country. My father also loved to play characters in the community theater. Earnest reminds me of him so much! My dad also loved Earnest. Losing Earnest was like losing my father all over again. Especially after watching this channel.

  • @cameraman655
    @cameraman655 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Some of the characteristics that most of today's ”celebrities” will never possess…” likability” and being ”just one of the guys”. Ernest had those traits in spades. I guess that there are things that you can not learn in acting school.

    So nice! Marty was my grandpa’s favorite movie and I can’t see Borgnine without thinking of him. He loved Marty because it captured Bronx life pretty accurately for that time. Paddy Chayefsky was a (problematic) genius, too.

    If one word could be used to describe this man’s beautiful soul, my choice would be “VITAL”!
    Such an exemplary life of empathy for his fellow man and his role in every life situation.
    Caring and willing to serve OTHERS. He was certainly richly blessed by God with such a full life for the love, laughter, and goodness he shared with all of us. If there ever was a picture of love, HE WAS!
