Thinking of all the family at this sad time Ernie was like a father to all. Ernie will be missed by all the groups he belonged to especially all his comrades in RBL Club Omagh of which he was Vice Chairman and Campsie Over 50s club
He was the light and sole of every function, and I personally will miss his presence everyday.

So sorry to hear of Earnies passing. He will be sorely missed.
He was always such wonderful company and brought great warmth and fun whenever he went.
He’ll be fondly remembered on the dancefloor at the Royal British Legion , where his love of dancing and lively spirit brightened many nights, which often ended with a singsong before going home..
Thinking of you all at this sad time.
