Your cousin Bruce sends you love and acceptance. Your Dad was a significant memory for me with respect to the Wallin brothers. My memories of our summers together remain. Shawano was fun for me as was Pestigo. I am so sorry that I cannot be with you at Yellow Lake. Sending you love from the UK. Your cousin, Bruce

I wasn't great at science but he did make it fun. He always said good morning sunshine!

I was sad to hear of you father's passing. He was my physics teacher my senior year at Peshtigo High School. I thought of him often during my teaching career at Columbus High School. God's blessings to you. Judy (JP) Peterson Kaland.

To Ernie's family - I want to extend my sympathy to you on your Dad's passing. I am a member of First Presbyterian Church, having been the secretary for many years when your Dad attended church, so I remember him well and your Mother too.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I have fond memories of visits at Ernie and Maurene's home back in Horicon. I appreciated Ernie a lot more once I reached college and was taking more science. Ernie, Maurene and I often talked life and politics. Ernie introduced me to public radio and cross country skiing. I enjoyed Maurene's stories about growing up in Texas, and Ernie's stories of growing up Lutheran in northern Wisconsin. I was at a few good family parties parties down on the patio and the back driveway. Ernie had two great lines I will always remember. The one was after talking late at night he would look at me real serious and say "You know, you're beautiful. And there aren't many of us!" and then he'd break out laughing. His other saying is one I still quote today in light of the fact it remains true: "In order to have a huge military industrial complex, you have to have an enemy. If you don't have one, you create one." Like all of us, Ernie and Maurene had their differences. But, they were both people of real character and conviction, and cared about education and the earth's environment. Celebrate Ernie's life well. Hold dear in your hearts that which is good, and let Jesus Christ redeem the rest. Grace and peace to all of you! Rev. David R. Froemming, Lancaster, WI

Somehow the tree and nature symbol fits, I will always remember your dad as my science teacher and a friend. Mainly my science teacher, so on this note Jim and Barb & Sue, you all have my deepest sympathies, I can still see him sitting behind his desk at the High School, he will be greatly missed. Prayers be with you and your family. (Lee) Lee Ann Lehman Heiden

I don't know if you remember me, but we actually were friends and neighbors "back in the day". Your dad also was my science teacher at HHS and I remember him well. I probably wasn't one of his favorite students though because somehow me and science just didn't "click". :-) Anyway, you all have my sympathy for the loss of your dad. Sincerely, Sharon
