Ernest Soule Obituary
Ernie is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Sandra and daughters, Patricia M. Labrecque and her husband Michael of Bluffton, SC, and Janet L. Bouchard and her husband David of Gilford, NH. Ernie also left behind his greatest loves, his grandchildren; Michael E. Labrecque and his wife Leanna of Suffolk, VA, Matthew J. Labrecque and his wife Julia of Barnstead, NH, Kaylan P. Bouchard and her fiancé, Matthew Brimblecom of Laconia, NH, and Ryan M. Bouchard of Oak Grove, KY. Ernie was anxiously awaiting his first great grandson, Elliot Joseph. Ernie also left behind his dearest friend and brother-in-law Robert Lamontagne of Manchester, NH. Ernie is also survived by his sister, Kathleen Olivier, numerous brothers- and sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Charles and Pearl Soule and siblings Virginia Lamontagne and Charles Soule.
Ernie grew up in Candia, NH, and graduated from Manchester Memorial High School in 1965, then joined the United States Air Force where he honorably served until 1969. After serving his country Ernie worked as a diesel mechanic while owning his own business for many years. Ernie's favorite role was being a father and grandfather. He never missed any activity his grandchildren participated in. He could be counted on to cheer them on during all of their activities. Ernie's grandkids treasured the time he spent with them and will miss him immensely. Ernie was known for and will be remembered for his love and passion for anything with a motor. Ernie was gifted with the ability to fix anything and would be willing to help anyone in their time of need. Our hearts will forever be broken in his absence.

So sorry to hear about Earnie. I met him through my buddy Stan Wood as I needed a truck mechanic. He served me well for the 15 years I had my truck. He even came to the house to handle any problems.

To the family of Ernie,
It is with great sadness that I send my deepest condolences to you all.
I knew Ernie through his sister Kathy, as we were friends in high school but lost touch over the years. Ernie always had a smile for you and was a truly kind and generous person. I have many fond memories of Ernie and will keep them close which will keep his soul alive for me.
Peace and comfort to all in these sad times. You will remain in my prayers.
Respectfully,
Joanne Schunemann Pouliot
