Jonas Ernest Apfelbaum was the oldest son of Jacob and Molly Apfelbaum who had four other children: Alan, Irving, Henrietta, and William.  Sylvia Horn was the only daughter of Max and Ida Horn who had three other children: Leo, Archie, and Herman.  Ernie's best friend and fellow bandmate, Jack Baker, was dating and eventually married Mickey who's best friend was Sylvia.  Ernie and Sylvia met through their best friends, dated for seven years, and married in 194? in New York.  They lived in Levittown until 1949 when they moved to Roslyn where they raised their family until 1973 when they moved to Inverrary, Florida.

They had three children:  Jane (1943), Judy (1947), and Michael (1950).  Before marrying, Sylvia worked at the Hotel Edison Reception Desk in New York City.  After marrying she was a homemaker, avid reader, and tennis player.  By overseeing extensive and superb coaching of her son and her excellent communication skills she began a very extensive career as a teaching pro when she and Ernie moved to Florida.  Sylvia was very slim all her life and was known never to take any medicines, even aspirin.  Sylvia died in 199? on her 73rd birthday from lung cancer that had spread to her brain.

Ernie travelled the world on cruise ships with his five piece band as a young man.  He was the front man, singer, and saxophone player and was often heard playing live on WOR radio in New York.  He received his law degree in 193? but never practiced because of the severe economic depression at the time.  When he married Sylvia and started a family he found a job selling expensive leather gift items.  He was a very successful sales rep for his entire life and later on sold picture frames and lastly greeting cards.  He was avidly into music, always having the latest in high fidelity equipment.  His constant wit was very sharp, very dry.  Ernie died in 199? at the age of 8? from pancreatic cancer.
