Not sure what to say?

I will miss you very much Ernie. I love going over to you home and talking to you and listing to the Detroit Tiger's on the radio. My Puppy loved going to run around in back woods. I will miss that so much.

Our sympathy to you Millie and all of your family. My parents, Dick and Gert Winkel, loved having Ernie and the boys up in McBain stay with them while building their new house after the fire. So many great stories we heard and what fine workmanship went into their home. Dad and Mom are already in Heaven and I'm sure have welcomed him to his eternal home.

Dear Millie, I am so sorry for your loss. Ernie was such a nice gentleman. He always had a smile on his face. I always enjoyed talking with him. My sympathy to you and your whole family. May he now enjoy eternal rest with the Lord

We only knew Ernie's son, - Scott Scheltema and became good friends with him. It seems that Scott really mirrored his father's goodness and accomplishments. - A wonderful family.

So sorry to learn of Ernie´s passing..We know your hearts are heavy ;Your loss is Heaven´s gain...

Ernie was such a joy, he was quick with a welcoming hug and a smile and a little joke. He will be missed by many - our loss is heaven's gain. Wishing for peace and blessings to Millie and his family.

Always enjoyed a friendly wave and smile from Ernie and Millie riding by our house on their bicycles. May our Lord of comfort give it in abundance to all who knew and loved Ernie.
