Ernie and Kay were married for 59 years and wintered for many years in Brownsville, Texas and Mesa, Arizona. Ernie loved his garden on Ottawa Street where he and Kay lived for most of their married life until they moved to the Atrium condo twenty-two years ago. Thank you to the caring residents of the Atrium who kept a watchful eye out for him. Ernie enjoyed his hobby as a model railroader, his cars and the years he played the piano. Ernie was a quick wit and loved a good joke. A Funeral Service in celebration of Ernies life will be held on Monday, October 24 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 3510 Queen Street with Pastor Trent Felstrom officiating. Ernie will be sadly missed by all. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
