He was born on February 1, 1936 in Rainy River, ON to Edmond and Maria St. Pierre. He grew up in Minnihico. It was here that he fell in love with the outdoors, working in bush for various log companies before moving to Atikokan in 1964. He worked at the Sapawee Mill for several years before moving to Caland Ore Mine. He loved to hunt, fish and pick blueberries. When he couldn’t be outdoors he enjoyed working with wood, building furniture for family and helping at the Fix It Club in Atikokan.
He will be greatly missed by his wife Mary Ellen; daughter Tammy and husband Marc Savard; grandchildren Joey and Sarah Savard and twin brother Ed St. Pierre and his family. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.
Ernie was predeceased by his parents and brothers Frank St. Pierre and Harry Arnould.
