Ernest L. Vannier

1920 - 2008 Resident of San Carlos, CA Ernie was born in Palo Alto on August 18, 1920 and left this world peacefully on July 12, 2008. He was raised in Belmont and spent the remainder of his life in San Carlos. Ernie leaves behind his loving wife and best friend of 62 years, Lois. He will be dearly missed by numerous nieces, nephews and friends who loved him so much. A veteran of the U.S. Army Air Corps, he was also a talented musician. He played the saxophone and clarinet and was a member of the Musicians Union of SF Local #6. An avid outdoorsman, Ernie was happiest when he was hunting, fishing and camping, especially at Klamath Falls and Gold Beach, Oregon. Ernie and Lois were always on the go, taking countless trips in their travel trailer with family and friends. A celebration of Ernie's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the National Parkinson Foundation, Inc., Office of Development, 1501 NW 9th Avenue/Bob Hope Road, Miami, FL 33136-1494.
