Pre-deceased by his loving Wife Lynda, his Parents Ernest and Viva, Brother Rick, Brother-in-laws, Jimmy and Blake and Grandson Ryan.

Ernie will fondly be remembered by his siblings Laura(Barry), Viva, Percy (Gina), Barb (Gilles), Steven, Victor (Debbie) and Ron. 

Ernie/Papa/Papa Bear will be greatly missed by his many Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and friends.  

Ernie worked in the printing industry for most of his life. He retired from Cober after more than 30 years. In his younger years, Ernie enjoyed going to the trailer, fishing, gardening, golfing and spending time with family. He made many new friends in the last few years, attending his Senior day programs. 

Ernie had the best sense of humour and always had a big smile on his face. In his words, “I’m here, but not all there!“ 

Cremation has taken place and interment details and celebration will come at a later date.  

Those we love, don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear. 

Death leaves a heartache, no one can heal,

Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
