He is also survived by his sisters Alma, Irene, Irma and Edna, and by brothers John, Luther and Karl. He is predeceased by his sister Myrtle.

Ernest was born in Rosetown, Sk. He was raised on the farm near Biggar and went to school at the Orban School. He quit school in grade 3 to work on the farm. On October 18, 1961 he married Margaret Catherine Selkirk who is the mother to their 6 children.

His life and pastime was building his farm and family. That is what made him proud.

He was a Lutheran Church member. He loved spending time off with his family, fishing and camping at the lake and going to visit his sister's in BC. He never complained no matter how hard times. He never complained or stopped loving farming. He would say, “that's ok ..things will be better” . He also enjoyed sitting on the front step having a beer and watch the lightning and thunder storms. He was always talking about the weather. He was a kind and loving man and always helping others when he could.

We remember all of us in the car on the way to town singing to the radio, or summer holidays when his sisters and their children came to visit the farm. He would show them how hard he had worked over the year to build his farm. He was so proud of the farm Grampa and Grandma had given him and all of the happy times we spent together. He loved his family.
