Ernesto was a compassionate, giving, resilient, determined, stern and loving brother, devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grand-father. He was the “glue” to not only his family but the entire extended Abad family. Ernesto earned his mechanical engineering degree from Feati University in the Philippines and received the highest score in his professional engineering board exams. Ernesto worked as a mechanical engineer designing HVAC systems for the County of Los Angeles, Northrop, and McDonald Douglas. He enjoyed gardening and growing vegetables, playing golf, traveling, dancing the cha cha and tango, but most of all, spending time with his family, friends and grandchildren. Ernesto was very sociable and always took time to acknowledge everyone. He was also a freemason and was an active member of the Torrance Masonic temple where he participated in many charity events and advocate for promoting the welfare of others.
