Ernesto, there isn't a day that goes by without me thinking of you. The comfort I only get is knowing that you will be risen up on the last earthly day. I Believe that we will hug and talk again about new events and old events. I believe that you were an excellent committed loving, intelligent, kind, industrious,lovable, and ambitious teacher with all of those qualities that will be executed again because they are so much you. Ernie, continue to rest in peace.
Love,
Laura

Mr. Messina was the best storyteller I have ever met. I will never forget his classroom decorations. He provided his students an entertaining educational experience. He will live on through their memories.

Although it’s been many years since I saw Ernie, I spent many weekends at his house when I was a kid. So, sorry to hear of his passing. May he RIP, with his Mom and Dad.

Mr. Messina was my 8th grade teacher at school 5 in 2003 and he was by far my favorite teacher. I would always run into Mr. Messina at willowbrook mall or ShopRite. He was truly a phenomenal person. I still have the Betty Boop he gifted me and nothing but the best memories. He taught my siblings, parents, aunts and uncles and will truly be missed. I learned so much about the beetles and chess from him.

I am so sorry to hear of Ernie's passing. We taught together at School #5. His love of The Beatles and Notre Dame will always be one of my favorite memories. Our trip to Las Vegas would not have been the same without him. I am sure he will be missed by his many friends and family members. RIP, Ernie.

My deepest condolences to the Messina family. I remember Ernie from St Anthony's in Paterson. He was in 8th grade and I was in 7th. We played baseball together at Eastside Park and Ernie hit a home run. Rest in Peace schoolmate.

Mr. Messina!! A wonderful teacher who everyone loved and enjoyed his stories. He will always be remembered as a wonderful teacher, funny guy and great friend. As I got older, I would always bump into him at the Totowa pool with his colleague buddy Ms. Capra.
My sincere condolences and prayers to his family.
Mr. Messina you will be remembered always!
Your student from School #5
