Not sure what to say?

I always loved his low slow gravely voice. He didn't say much most of the time, but loved hearing him talk. He was a funny man, quick comebacks with that sly smile. I always think of him with a cigar clamped in the corner of his mouth. Grieving for his family.

Bob was a wonderful cousin. He always had a smile on his face and loved to laugh. He was also a mini "Uncle Milty". Our sympathy and love to the family. Love Charles and Mary

Uncle Bob was a quiet man with a great smile. My last encounter with him was a few weeks back at a restaurant with my other aunts and uncles for a little reunion. I sat next to him and had a great conversation about my cousins and their children. We really love uncle Bob and aunt Shirley - we are grieving his loss for the family Holly, Todd, and Tyler, and our dear aunt Shirley. We love you all.

Bob was a great guy who loved his wife and family. I'm so thankful to the Lord that I got to know Bob through his wife Shirley who was a member of our church for a number of years at Evangel Assembly of God in Perkasie. We will miss him greatly! Alot of good memories. Everyone loved his chicken that he would make for our church picnics! May he rest in the peace of Jesus Christ his Savior. Pastor Gary Saul.

So sorry to hear! He was a Great man. Quick wit and I learned a lot from him in my youth. Best wishes to the Ernst family. Very sorry for your loss. Jeff
