Lawrence Andrew «Lolly» Ernst
1943-2021
Lawrence Andrew “Lolly” Ernst, 78 of Indian Point, Mahone
Bay, passed away suddenly on August 16th 2021. He passed away doing
what he loved to do…work.
Born on Rous Island, Indian Point, he was a son of Russell Ernst and
Mamie (Wentzell) Ernst.
Lawrence had two brothers and two sisters. He married Geraldine
(Ingram) Ernst on September 9th 1972 in Liverpool, NS. Lawrence was a
plumber for over 50 years, most of those years were his own business
“Ernst Plumbing and Heating” of Halifax. He worked in
Canmore and Banff, Alberta for about five years. He attended
vocational school in Halifax to obtain his plumbing and heating
certification. Lolly loved spending time at his camp where he shared
many meals and tales with family and friends. He had four furry
Samoyeds he loved dearly, taking them for boat and bike rides to the
camp. In his earlier years he competed in the International Dorey
Races with his partner, Garnet Heisler, winning many trophies. He
was also an avid hockey player. Lawrence enjoyed boating, water
skiing and snowmobiling. He would clear the floor at many dances.
He was a member of the Armdale Yacht Club for many years. Lolly had a
great sense of humor, his favourite past time was teasing family and
friends. He was laid back and easy going, not much could phase him.
In his later years he enjoyed spending time with his three
grandsons.
