ERNEST (ERNIE) WICKSTEAD With deep sadness we announce the passing of Ernest "Ernie" Wickstead on April 29, 2017 in the Portage General Hospital. Ernie will be lovingly remembered by his loving wife Betty; son Peter; daughter Heather (Mark), Liam, Owen and Abby, as well as his nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents; and his four siblings. Ernie was born and raised in the Gladstone area. He was a proud grain and cattle farmer and lived on the same farm for 88 years. He loved his hockey and baseball and was a big Montreal Canadièns fan. Many thanks to the staff and doctors at the Portage General Hospital for the quality of care provided to Ernie. As per his wishes, cremation has taken place and no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of one's choice. "God looked down on the earth He created and said, 'I need a caretaker for this world I made.' And so God made a farmer" Paul Harvey Clarke's Funeral Home, Gladstone - MacGregor www.clarkesfuneralhome.com
