It’s hard to find the right words to say to help ease your pain
but as you know, your being thought of at this difficult time. Even
though Ernie was having a difficult time, he always had a smile on
his face or he made other people have a good laugh. He lived life to
the fullest and enjoyed life in what he did. He is surely going to be
missed dearly and by each and everyone who knew him. Sending
our condolences from Ivan, Daniel, Jonathan & Me( Marilyn).
God Bless and may Ernie rest in peace.

Barb, I met you and Ernie when he started treatment in Bridgewater. I watched as he fought a very courageous battle against his disease, and although it was not under the best circumstances, he always managed a smile despite his pain. My sister was receiving similar treatment and she always looked forward to seeing you and Ernie.
