Dear Jennie and family sorry to hear of your great loss our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Paula, Jennie & family. I am so sorry to hear of Ern’s passing. I have so many memories of him as a teacher & your homes on Hastings place & Willow Bay. In fact Jackie (Dzuba) & I were just talking about him last month. Please know we’re thinking of all of you at this difficult time. Take care. Deb.
Dear Jennie & family, Sincere condolences
Jennie & family. So sorry for your loss.
My condolences, Jennie, on your loss…playing table tennis with both you and Ernie always a good memory…look forward to seeing you at senior centre in future
Dear Jennie and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. It seemed you and Ernie would be there with us forever. So sad for our loss too. We love you and will continue praying for Ernie and you and your family.
Jennie and family, sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed playing table tennis with Ernie. He seemed to be easygoing, enjoying the games whether he won or lost, unlike others who put too much emphasis on winning……oh, wait, that would be me. I remember he smiled a lot.
Dear Jennie and family, my deepest condolences to all of you. So sorry to hear of Ernie’s passing, and my prayers are with you!
Our sincere sympathy Jenny and family. Mr. Sali taught me all through high school. I loved his algebra classes, but his teaching on marriage and family life shaped my life in ways I will always be grateful for. God bless his eternity!
Please accept my condolences, Jennie, to you & your family. In my life, Ernie was first of all “Mr. Sali” the teacher at IHH, and became “Ernie” only after I started working with him at the Comp. He was a good man.
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of ‘Uncle Ern’. Its unfortunate that I’m unable to be there to celebrate his life with everyone. So many memories came flowing back of the wonderful times spent together. I remember the visits to Estevan and catching perch and ‘uglies’ at Boundary Dam, joking with Wing Ing and being impressed with his biking skills, of our fishing trips and of all those excurions to Minot. I’m also reminded of so many family reunions; remembering uncle Ern’s quick wit, wonderful laugh and his calm demeanor.
Please accept my heart felt condolences. The world is a little less bright now.
Gary and I are sorry to hear you’ve lost your dear Ernie. We so appreciate all his years of dedicated service at St. Theresa’ s and Corpus Christie parish. May God’s love continue to sustain you through this difficult time and may the love of family and friends comfort you. We are thinking of you and keeping you and your family in our prayers. We are travelling out of country at this time and regret that we cannot be with you. Your friends Gary and Denise Greyell
So sad to hear that my favorite teacher passed away. He turned me on to the beauty of mathematics, and those lessons have stayed with me for all of my adult life. A brilliant man with a direct straight to the point teaching style. Rest in Peace “Mr. Sali”.
