After a brief retirement he went back to work for NCED postal service in Norman. After the death of his loving wife of over 40 years Ernie moved to New Hampshire to live with his daughter Tanya. He spent the last 4 years of his life doing what he was not able to do for many years as he had devoted and sacrificed his own passions to care for his wife and children. He bought a boat and fished frequently on Lake Winnipesaukee. He enjoyed boating the most since he was fishing more than catching. He had most recently fell in love with target shooting and joined the Winnipesaukee Sportsman club which he frequented weekly for various competitions.
