Lavern Ernest "Ernie" Tomson

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Joyce and Tom,
Ernie was a man to know him was to love him. His spirit and zest for life will always live on. I loved to hear him tell me about all the things he built, owned, ran, and bought/sold. His family was what he most valued in his life. He was always so proud of you Tom. He told me all about the "new" truck you bought for drilling wells. We both laughed when we realized that was the very same truck you used on my well. What a great man. Ernie touched my life in many ways....

Dearest Joyce and Connie,
Although we haven't seen each other enough throughout the years, when I last saw Ernie it was as if we just saw each other last week. The warmth and vivaciousness he possessed never stifled once. He was still full of energy, cuddly, smiley, loving and so proud of you Connie. Of course his lovely wife Joyce was the twinkle in his eye. He will definitely leave a void in this life...but can you imagine how he fills up his heavenly spot with his light? God Bless...

We are so sorry to hear about Ernie, yet so happy to have known such a wonderful, unique person--our thoughts are with you. Chris and Kathy Nadeau (Sparta)

Dear Joyce & Family
We have known the Tomson family since moving to the Sparta area in the fifties. The first time I meet Ernie was when I became a member of the North Kent Snowmoble club at the Camp Lake Golf course. After joing the Moose Lodge I became the first Moose Lodge Historian in 1987. I have written many stories about the Members and the old Camp Lake Golf Course. I always enjoyed talking with Ernie and his wife Joyce about the history of the Golf course and the Moose Lodge....

Joyce, Connie and Tom,
I love you all and pray for comfort at such a hard time. I have so many memories too numerous to count. Most of all I loved being treated like one of his daughters. He was always so protective of me and wanted to best for me. Guess that goes along with having Connie as my best friend. I will miss his smile, hugs and smooches.

Joyce,Tom,Ilene,Connie and family Please accept our deepest Sympathies. Even tho myself and staff only knew Ernie for a short time may it comfort you to know he left us with some great memories and it was a pleasure to comfort him and your family though the difficult Journey and sad time's. The lose of someone so dear is difficult, we share your grief. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. Julie & Steve Fisk and Family & The MRV staff

Joyce and family,
Our sincere sympathy to each of you at this time of loss of one so dear to so many. Ernie was a guy you could never forget. It was always a pleasure to do business with him in the early '90's.
Wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow and comfort in the midst of pain. We have fond memories of Ernie. May God bless each of you with strength at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Bob and Ann Beuschel
