    Tina, Peter and Ernie,

    So sorry to hear about your dads passing. Even though I only spoke to him a few times in the last 10 or so years, these occasions always reminded me of days go by when many including your dad would socialize on the government wharf in Port Medway. A friendly smile and genuine conversation about what was happening locally. I always admired Ernie, a successful fisherman and confident man of the sea. I am happy to have shared time at sea with Ernie back in the good old days. R.I.P. Ernie Sr.
