I didn't really get to hear much from ernie but from what you guys have written
it appears we will miss the old chap. I can only echo the comments that have
been said and I hope he enjoys the rest of his life getting the care he
deserves
what do people think about maybe a jhb groupflight to celebrate his time with
us ??

I guess it depends whether the residential place he is going to has any

The email I got suggests that Ernie is going straight from hospital to the
home so I can only assume someone is back at his house winding things up. I
assume they plugged into his email account and got swamped by JHB posts and
were kind enough to let us know what has happened. Had they not Ernie would
just have disappeared without trace. It's a pity but the post wasn't
signed..

That is really sad news, should the opportunity arise I'm sure that we would
all want to send Ernie our very best wishes and thank him for his friendship
over the years. He's made of the 'right stuff' and always made me think of
my dear old dad, sadly now long departed, who was also a flyer of the old
school. They don't make 'em like that any more ... 8-(

I am really sorry to say this but Ernie has left us.
I received a short message yesterday to say that he has been in
hospital and will be moved to a residential home on Monday. I'm not
sure who sent the message but I am assuming his email account is being
closed down. I replied to the message but have had no response so I
suspect communication is now at an end. Very sad.
I really admired Ernie - he started with FS very late in life but his
enthusiasm was endless. He got stuck into FPI/IVAO without a second's
thought and racked up a really impressive number of hours (788) in a
very short length of time.
I can only hope that the accommodation he is being moved into is good
and that he gets treated with dignity there - he deserves it.
I haven't the heart to remove Ernie from the roster and will leave him
on the hours page as my tribute to a great bloke.
