His step-daughter Charlene White (Larry), his stepsons Ken Wren (Manon), Kelvin Wren, Ted Draper and his many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Ernie touched many hearts in his travels and will be fondly remembered by his many friends from the Guards, Florida, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and his comrades from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 147, in Barrie, Ontario.
