Ernest John Defoe

Thanks for the memories and the expressions of sympanthy. At the memorial the photos and film clips would not play - so we are sharing them on the web.

To the Defoe Family
I was very sorry to hear of Ernie's passing. He was the best at everything he did. To me he was the greatest muscican, golfer and firefighter. I spent many years in the band and working on the fire department with Ernie. He was a gentleman and a mentor to all of us. He will be missed.

To Georgie and all the family. My sincere condolences and prayers are sent to you. I thoroughly enjoyed the many years playing with Ernie in our fire department band where Ernie also served as President of that organization. His effective leadership there and in the fire department will always be remembered and appreciated.

Georgie, and family,
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you at this time. I'm sure he and Uncle Bill will be "teeing up" any time now.
Take care.
