On February 23, 1958, Ernie was united in marriage with Ruth “Arlene” Anthony in Grandview. They made their home in Ute for a short time before moving to Grandview. Ernie worked for 35 years at Heinz in Muscatine. When he retired in the 1980’s he continued to work part-time for several years for Grimm’s Brothers in Wapello. Ernie dedicated his life to two things; first his Savior and second his family. He was an active lifetime member at the Grandview Community Bible Church where he served faithfully. Ernie was also a talented writer and enjoyed writing prayers, poems and letters to friends and family.
