Ernie I never got to meet you but I followed you on tv, radio, newspapers and our grapevine. A visionary and our very own pioneer. I drink the water from Mundaring that's piped to the Goldfields, your pipeline vision will come through one day. Music and politics whatever, to me you will always be the man that built a bridge for progress. You've cleared the way for others to continue the journey and we appreciate your hard work, commitment, sacrifice and determination. R.I.P. Ernie

BRIDGE (Ernie):
Uncle Ernie, a Kimberley Aboriginal leader, caring politician, visionary and humble man are some of the statements that have been used to describe you, all true, but for us you were family and what a great support you were for us. Thank you for being a good brother and uncle. Your legacy can only live on in the Bridge family through us and what a legacy you have left. You will be missed and we are only now realising how much. You can now rest Uncle Ernie.
