Tina and family, here it is 2021 and I just learned of Ernie’s passing. What a shock. I think of him often but last saw Ernie in 2011. Ernie was the best! Without a doubt, the most talented textile man I ever met. It truly was an honor to work for him. May GOD bless you all. Rick Underwood

To Mrs. Tina Capizzi and Family, I was very saddened to learn of the unexpected passing of Mr. Capizzi. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Mr. Capizzi was a very kind man and always had a smile whenever I saw him. I delivered your Lancaster New Era afternoon and Sunday papers for several years, until I became very sick in late 2004.and was no longer able to do so.
I will always remember one very snowy afternoon, while I was attempting to make my deliveries. My van got stuck in the ice and snow, while trying to come up the hill. At the time, I had my three youngest of seven children, in the van with me. Two of them were still in car seats and became scared and upset, because I was not able to maneuver the car up your driveway. The more I tried, the more difficult it became. At one point, the van started sliding down the ice, backwards towards the main road. Although I tried to remain calm, the two little ones were in tears. I didn’t know what to do, I was unable to push the car alone and couldn’t leave the children to get help. 
I was about to get the children out of their car seats and walk up to your home, when my youngest son, who was about 5 or 6 years old, started praying for God to send us a hero! It was snowing pretty good at this time, and starting to get a little dark. Within a few seconds, we heard a man’s voice,(this was Mr. Capizzi) asking if we were ok and telling us he would be right back! He returned very quickly, with one of his sons. Both of them were wearing hooded jackets, gloves and special boots– made for ice and snow.They were able to push my van, out of the snow and save the day!! 
After we were safely back on the road, my youngest son said to me, “Do you know who those men were, Mommy?” I started to answer him, when he said, “That was Batman and Superman, I prayed for God to send you a hero and he sent them to help us!” He said this with absolute certainty! And when we got home, he relayed the whole story to my husband and his other brothers and sisters. To my small son, they were heroes and not just any ordinary heroes, they were Superheroes–Batman and Superman!! 
I wanted to share this beautiful memory with you, to perhaps put a smile on your sad faces at this time, to let you know I was thinking of all of you. I lost my husband, Steve, to cancer, four years ago. He was only 64 years old, and I was a widow at the age of 50, with seven kids, nine grandchildren, and one on the way. And my husband was the head of our lively bunch, and my loving husband and soulmate. I will continue to pray for you, Mrs. Capizzi, and for all of your children, their spouses and your grandchildren. May you feel God’s love and comfort at this time, and may all the wonderful memories you shared bring you joy and even a little laughter, while you are going through this sad time. May peace and love be with all of you. With love and caring, Mrs. Rose Bernstein(formerly of Rabbit Hill Road, Lititz)

To the entire Capizzi family my heartfelt sympathy is with you all.
