Such a gracious and friendly man. Ernest Borgnine was one class act.

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.
