We were sorry to read of Ernie's passing. We were neighbours at Grand Marais since 1967. Our condolences to Lettie and family. It was nice seeing them at their 70th wedding anniversary. - Posted by: Ted and Gail Hermann (Neighbours) on: Sep 21, 2019

I met Mr. & Mrs. Taylor in the late 90`s. I owned a security company and did satellite installations. They called me up to come and give them a quote for a satellite installation at their cottage in Grand Marais. I still remember thinking to myself and actually saying to my wife I'm not sure if I want to do work for that man. he seems like he will be a tough customer`. As it turned out I did the job and more work for him later on. He became not just a customer but a real good friend. We had many good talks sometimes over the fence as I`d stop by when i was driving by. He gave me some good advice that I still keep dear to my heart. I'm sorry I missed learning about his passing as I would have liked to pay my final farewell to him. When I drive by the cottage I still think of him (and Letty). Always will have Great Memories of these wonderful people. - Posted by: Mark Sinclair (Friend ) on: Dec 06, 2017
