Ernest 'Ernie' Boyd Komperud Sr.
ETTRICK -- Ernest "Ernie" Boyd Komperud Sr., 87, died Thursday, Feb. 4, 2021, at his home.
He was born March 21, 1933, in La Crosse, to Elmer and Berdella (Salzwedel) Komperud. He served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict. On March 14, 1967, he married Linda Arlene Olson in Tennessee. As a couple they lived their lives in rural Ettrick, where he farmed, but was more known for his excellent carpentry skills.

Dear Linda,
Hi I am Sandy (Erickson) Peterson Walsh. When I married Chuck Peterson you signed for us because my sister was too young to do so. It has been a long time since I have seen you. I wanted to come to Ernie's wake but the date had passed before I got the info. I pray that all is well with you and your family and I am truly sorry for your loss. I would love it if you would reach out to me--it has been too long. My phone number is (608)780-4977. My heart goes out to you in your time of grief. Love you, Sandy
