We where shocked and sadded by the untimely passing of Ervin. He was a wonderful caring man who loved his children and grandchildren dearly. We shared many a good meal, conversation, fun and laughter during our visits to BC. He will always bring a smile to my face and heart when I think of him. Our prayers and thoughts are with Judith, Sean , Michael and Kate at this sad time. Please except our deepest sympathies, Linda, Don and family

We are deeply saddened from the loss of Uncle Erv, he was always very kind and loving to all who knew him. I am sure Aunt Lynda and Rory will take care of him now that they are together in heaven. ALthough Judy and Todd's families are separated from ours in Saskatchewan, our prayers and love will be with them in their sorrow.

The many extended family in Saskatchewan are very saddened hearing of the death of Uncle Erv. On behalf of the Engel Family, we wish to extend our thoughts and prayers to Judy and Todd and their families. Although distance has kept us physically apart these past years, you remain close to us in our hearts. We will always remember Uncle Erv as someone who always knew how to make us laugh and have fun. I'm sure that both Aunt Linda and Rory will welcome him with open arms in heaven.

We are very saddened to hear of Ervin's passing. We worked with him on a variety of financial deals he would present to our mortgage brokerage firm. He was always such a pleasure to deal with, polite and professional with a touch of humour!

We will miss him. Our condolences to the family and friends of Ervin.
