I am just back from spending a few days in Rome and am so sorry to hear this
sad news. Ernie was a real gentleman, despite his failing eyesight he was
still able to join in the list discussions and I fondly remember many
'chats' with him after flying was over for the day. I suspect that his real
world flying experiences were far more extensive than those few memories
that he shared with us.
Thanks for your friendship Ernie, RIP.

Hi Bones
My name is Chris Gavilanes and I am Ernie Laycock's daughter who lives in
Florida, USA.
I am afraid I have some sad news. My Dad passed away on September 5
peacefully in his sleep after several months of ill health following two
heart attacks in early May. His funeral took place on September 16, and his
ashes will be scattered at the same place where we scattered my mother's.
His funeral was well attended by friends, neighbours and members of the
local golf club where he had been a member for very many years.
He never really got over my Mom's death, and hopefully now they will be
reunited.
I am sorry that I wasn't able to advise you of this earlier, but I had no
time nor a computer while I was over in England. I got back yesterday and
am this morning sorting through some papers and computer stuff I brought
back with me and have been able to find your email address.
Could you please let his flying friends know of his passing. I know how
much he enjoyed his time with you all, and I would like to thank you for
giving him so much pleasure.
These past two and a half years have been very difficult for him, but
hopefully now he is at rest.
Thank you all again for being his friends.
Very best wishes
Chris
