He was a Construction Foreman for many years with Huntley Construction Company. While having many hobbies including his favorites fishing, hunting, riding his motorcycle and as he would call it "chasing the steam engine trains". Ernest was a hard man at times, but once you won him over, he was a friend for life. He never met a stranger. He has left a mark on our family that will be noted for generations to come. Thank you for all the fun times, good memories, and life lessons.
