Ernest3 Chanes (Ida2, Isidor1) was born in New York June 13, 1923 around the time his parents lived on 99th St. Then they moved to Featherbed Lane in the Bronx.
Ernest married Josely Carvalho De Oldeira on September 24, 1977. Josely was born in Brazil in 1941 and is an artist (prints, installations). Josely had a son Emaliano Carvalho by a previous marriage.
Ernest is an environmental engineer with a specialty in water and waste water management. He owned Consolidated Water, which is the company that used to come and clean Mom and Dad's air conditioner. He also did some consulting to Fidel Castro, which is totally fascinating.
As a kid he worked at Vitaprint and credits Saul with helping to pay for his college that way. He also worked for Irving Jaffe at his store and was there when Irving got engaged. He remembers how happy the family was.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ernest, and around that time, Leo Jaffe died. Ernest attended some of the pre-funeral sittings.
