I had the great fortune to work with Ernie as a fellow meat cutter in Oakville. I remember he offered to give the first house we bought a little pre inspection for us. And he offered and cut a huge willow tree down for my mother in law in arthur. He scampered up that tree, chainsaw in hand , quicker than men half his age would dare! Rest In Peace my friend.
