Ernest enlisted in the Canadian Army at the age of 26 and served with The Little Black Devils. He fought valiantly in the 1944 D-Day battle at Juno Beach. He was shot and the bullet remained in his shoulder the rest of his life. After the war he worked at The Winnipeg Post Office. He became an excellent curler, winning many trophies as skip of his team. After retirement he took up golf and like everything he did, he excelled at it. He enjoyed golfing with his family until the age of 91. By far his greatest pleasure was tending his beautiful flower and vegetable garden. He was happiest surrounded by nature and his loved ones.

I had Ernie as my patient a couple of times. He was so sweet, he touched my heart. I'm sure he will be dearly missed. What a darling man. - Posted by: RN Maggie (nurse) on: Nov 02, 2013

I just wanted to express my sincere condolences Bernice on learning of the death of Ernest. My father remembers him well and Lou and Malcolm and I were reminiscing about the get-together in Maidenhead in 1984 that Olive arranged. I would be delighted to hear from you if possible. My thoughts are with you and the family at this sad time. - Posted by: Helen Urquhart nee Tayler (Daughter of cousin, James Tayler) on: Oct 30, 2013

I have vivid memories of Mr. Taylor keeping me in line as a child although he was always fair. I would annoyingly ask him often what he was doing and always got the same response, "I'm waiting on a bus" he would say. He will be missed by all who knew him. - Posted by: Derek H () on: Oct 29, 2013
