Ernie was a lovely man with a great sense of humour and we all enjoyed his company on the bowling green. He was a very good bowler as well always available to play in recent seasons if we were short of a player.... that's if he wasn't fishing which came first. We will miss your smile Ernie and the laughs we had with you. Robyn May
