He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Ryan, Mark, Erika (Dan), Candice (James), Brant (Becky), Jennifer, Cassie (Jason) and 13 great-grandchildren.

On April 1, 1942 he joined the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve and was overseas until he returned home on October 16, 1945. He married the love of his life, Grace Rivers on June 15, 1946 and they resided in St. James, raising their four children. Ernie was employed by the Federal Government at Deer Lodge Hospital as Regional Superintendent Prosthetic Services retiring in 1985. In later years Ernie and Grace spent many enjoyable winter months in Plant City, Florida. Mom and Dad were very active in the square dance community and made many lifelong friends during this time. Dad enjoyed golfing, bridge, wood carving and especially spending time with his family. He was a very devoted family man, a great dad and papa who will be missed. A memorial service celebrating Ernie's life will take place on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. at the Charleswood United Church, 4820 Roblin Boulevard, Winnipeg.
