Obituary of ERNEST WILK
ERNEST WILK
The family is sad to announce the passing of Ernest Wilk aged 85 of Winnipeg, on December 9th 2020 at River East Personal Care Home.
Ernie spent his younger years growing up in Ladywood, MB the son of Joseph and Mary Wilk and brother to Lorne and Virginia.
There was nothing more important to Ernie than family, and his grew when he met the love of his life Eva and raised their three children Sandra (Cam) Case, Charlene (Doug) Engstrom and Robert (Keri). As that family grew Ernie became “Papa” to 6 Grandchildren who all adored him. The legend of “Papa” extended further to 11 Great Grandchildren who cherished how he always treated every child as the most important person in the room.
Right after the importance of family to Ernie was the value of friends. He was a great friend to many and the greatest Uncle Ernie to many more.
Ernie was a man who sincerely believed wealth, true wealth came from the love of family and friends and Ernie passed away a very wealthy man!
Family would like to thank the exceptional staff of the Charity Road wing at River East PCH for the kind and loving care they extended Ernie in his final years.
Plans for a virtual service are pending, please check Cropo Funeral Chapel website for further details.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of ERNEST
