I believe my mom worked with Ernie a long time ago, back in the 1980s and 1990s. We bought our 1989 Ford truck from him, as the tag inside says. Unfortunately my mom died just 4 days before Ernie. I have been going through everything, and thinking of who to contact. Most of the people my parents knew are already gone.

Dear Jackie, Patty, Leo and Kimberlie,

I was very saddened to hear my Uncle Ernie had passed away. He always had a smile when you came in the door, and he showed genuine interest in everything you were doing with your life. He made everyone in his life feel special, but it was him that was special! I will always remember how he and Aunty Margaret hosted the best gatherings, bringing together family and friends to celebrate life and love.

He will forever be in my thoughts.

Dear Pat, Jackie & Family, sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. Ernie (and Marg) are the best two people we have ever had the pleasure of getting to know. We sure do miss both of them. We have so many good memories of being friends (but feel more like family) with them for the past 8 years. Debbie & Kevin (Lloyd's neighbours in Edmonton).
