Today, we remember a man of two passions: the artistry of the pool table and the depth of fatherhood. Ernie was not only a maestro with a cue in hand but a master at weaving love and guidance into our lives.
On the felt, he dazzled with strategic brilliance, teaching us the beauty of focus and precision. Yet, his greatest victories were as a father. Ernie provided not just wisdom but an unwavering support that shaped who his son is today.
As we say goodbye, let's honor not just the pool player but the man whose love and lessons will forever echo in our hearts. May his legacy inspire us to navigate life's challenges with the same grace and determination that marked his journey.
Ernie is survived by his son Nolan Braidlow, his mother Betty Braidlow, his brother Russell Braidlow, his sister Carol Coward, and many nieces and nephews.
