  • The Templeton, Trumbley, Mackie, & Gregoire familes would like to extend to Sharon and her family, our sincere condolences on the passing of your father. It is never easy losing a parent, regardless of the circumstances. Were thinking of you and we are trying to find the words that will ease your pain, but there are no words we can share at this difficult time, that seems adaquate. All we can share is that love exists, and we love you and love goes on forever.

  • We first met Ernie in 2007 at Riverview Health Centre where he and his sidekick, Harry Burdon, had been running the Sunday morning volunteers for decades. He and his crew of 6 to 10 volunteers. Wood spread throughout the facility bringing wheelchair bound residence and those with walkers down to the chapel for the service. Ernie was a delight, as he greeted all the residents and their families with care, concern, interest, and humor. Our heartfelt condolences to Ernie‘s family. Our world is a bit poorer now that this wonderful warm human being is not with us. - Posted by: Tim and Debbie (Friend) on: Mar 29, 2026
