  9. ERN WAS ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS I HAVE EVER HAD. I RUN THE COMPUTER AT ALBION PARK UNITING CHURCH AND WHILE HIS WIFE LYN PLAYED THE KEYBOARD OUT FRONT, ERN WITH SIT UP THE BACK NEXT TO THE COMPUTER I USED TO PUT UP WORDS ON THE SCREEN OUT FRONT AND HE WAS AN ALL ROUND NICE GUY. I WILL MISS HIM. ON THE DAYS HE WAS TOO ILL TO COME TO CHURCH HE WOULD WATCH THE SERVICE ON TV AS I LIVE STREAMED IT TO YOU TUBE AND AT THE END OF THE SERVICE I ALWAYS RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE “JOB WELL DONE ROSEMARY, LOVE ERN” HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND AND SUPPORTER OF WHAT I DID AT CHURCH. I WILL MISS HIM.
    LYN, MY LOVE GOES OUT TO YOU AND ALL IN THE FAMILY. HE WILL BR GREATLY MISSED. LOVE TO YOU LYN AND THE FAMILY.

  10. I’m sorry for your loss, Lynette and all the family. Ernest had a beautiful, sunny disposition, and he was always very warm and welcoming when we came to see you in Albion Park. I also remember that he had a beautiful singing voice. He will be greatly missed, but warmly remembered by our family.

    With love,

    Francesca, Eldo, Hazel and Dante xox

  11. I fondly remember very early mornings milking the cows with Ernest when I was seven or eight. I remember him driving me around the farm on the back of a motorbike. And I remember the morning that he showed me the feed troughs full of Monster Munch chips – a batch of seconds or stale ones I guess. I couldn’t wait to get back to the house and wake mum up to tell her about it.

    He was always a kind and generous man to me, and I will remember him fondly.

    Much love and blessings to Lyn and all the family.
