Ernest was our wedding photographer in 1979. We were so lucky to have him take these forever photographs. Every time we look at them we remember his aratistry, and, his huge sense of humour. Rest in peace.

Dear Nell, Dorothea & family:
We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mr. Floeter will be dearly missed.
Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Warm Hugs,
The Briones family

Nell,
Was saddened to hear you lost your father. What an extraordinary man he was, I regret I never had the good fortune to meet him personally. I'm sure you and your family will miss him greatly! My kindest thoughts are with you and yours.
Best regards,

I loved Ernst. He was always quick to smile and always had time to stop and chat. Ernst Floeter may just be the last of the Grand Ledge icons that influenced the town I knew from the 60's. One in a million, I'll miss Ernst a lot.

I will always remember Ernst's photography talent. I remember one of his signature photos was the bride in the mirror with her bouquet. I remember how beautiful the bride was in this particular pose enough that I had the photographer for my daughter's wedding take the same photo. Dorothea my thoughts are with you.

Ernst was always a delight to run into in the Lansing and Grand Ledge photographic community. I so enjoyed his good humor and wonderful energy. He will be missed by not only his family, but the greater Lansing community at large.

I was so sad to hear of Ernst passing. He was one of those low profile Icons of Grand Ledge. One can only imagine the number of great photos he took.

Nell, Dorothea, Dietrich and family,
Ray and I send our heartfelt condolences. Your Dad and Mom were both an inspiration and a gentle guiding light to both of us. They spread their wings around us as we first set foot here in Michigan. We will miss Dad, but I am sure you know he is at peace and his wonderful memories will be in your hearts forever.
Sorry we won't be able to attend as we are scheduled to be out of town..but know we are thinking of you and yours through this difficult time. God Bless!
