After a long battle with cancer Ernie passed away peacefully surrounded by his beloved family on Sunday, June 5, 2022 at Lakeridge Health Hospital. He was a beloved husband and soulmate for 62 years of Marie (Marg), loving father of Shelley, father-in-law to Glenn and a cherished Papa to Nicole and Kayla. Ernie was a dear brother to Billy and Bobby Huard, Carol Christie and Karen Landry. Pre-deceased by his parents Octave and Stella, and siblings Merilda and Rita Petrie, Betty Olinyk, Connie Chamberlain, and Judy Honaski.
Ernie loved traveling and listening to country music. One of his favourite trips was to St Lucia where he enjoyed roaming the many cities and indulging in the cultural cuisine with his wife by his side. Known for his tender heart, gracious charm and strength, and caring and supportive nature, people around him always knew that they could lean on him. Ernie will be missed by his many nieces, nephews, godchildren and extended family. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at Lakeridge Health Oshawa Emergency Department for their dedication and care.
