July 1930- December 2019.
It is with great sadness that the family of Ernie announce his passing. He is lovingly remembered by his sons Kevin (Dorian) Sokolan of Sherwood Park, David (Donna) Sokolan of Spruce Grove. He will also be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Kashley, Brennan, Gabrielle, Randi and Aron, his great grandchildren: Mason, Weston, Kaya, Kai-Szen, Kei-Yen, Mai-Le, Alexander and Arianna. Brother Dave (Joan) and sister Helen.
Ernie was predeceased by his beloved wife Ella in 2007; parents: John and Kataryna; brothers Murray, Joe, John, Mike; sisters Sylvia and Bonnie.
Ernie retired in 1992 to St. Albert after a career spent in construction and farming. In retirement he continued with his numerous building projects and was a dedicated Knights of Columbus member. He continued his lifelong habit of befriending any dog or cat that crossed his path, and most of all enjoyed spending time with his wife Ella, his kids and grandkids. He was a man of constant prayer and devotion to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and until the very end prayed for his family every day. He is now with his beloved wife Ella in Heaven.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Albert Catholic Church at 11:00 a.m. on December 10, 2019 at 7 Vital Avenue, St. Albert. Refreshments will be served at St. Albert Catholic Church after Mass, with Internment to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery, St. Albert.
