Mr. Ernie was such a sweet spirit who seemed to know everybody and everything. I only met him a couple of years ago, but whenever I saw him, he would always greet me with a big hug and warm smile. His family is in my thoughts and prayers. He will certainly be missed!
To the Vadersen Family,
I have just become aware of Ernie's transition to his heavenly home. I am forever thankful for meeting him during my 2019 Cardiac Rehab class. His friendship, encouragement and love for the Lord and family was so inspiring. He left a lasting impression and I will see him again in eternity. It's never too late to let a loved one know how they impacted other people. Blessings to sweet Linda & your family.
Today is August 28, 2020. I had not caught up with Ernie for a number of years. When I decided to try and get in touch with him, I came across his obituary. I am very sorry to see this. Ernie was a great friend and mentor to me growing up. He will be deeply missed. God speed to you my friend. I look forward to the day we meet again.
