Ernie on his 80th with cake from Richard and Barb
This photo was taken at home and he is holding a cake from Richard and Barb. Richard kept a close look on Ernie and helped him out in the later years. Barb did the same and did things on her own after Richard passed away in 2008. He was only 72. This picture, as well as others, was on the photo display at Ernie's funeral March 15 and 16 of 2011
