Dear Edythe, Mary, Betty and Ernie, and families, We have just read of Ernie's passing and cannot make it in time for the funeral. I wanted to respond as soon as possible though to express our sincere sorrow to you. I can fondly remember all the contacts over the many years between the Sparks and Bickerton clans and they are all excellent memories indeed. Ernie was such a great gentleman, always with a smile and a cheery hello, no matter what the weather or circumstance. We are all better people for having known him. Our thoughts are with you all. Love, Al and Chris Bickerton
