ADOLF _ Ernest, aged 73, of Port Coquitlam, passed away on November 29, 2001 in Eagle Ridge Hospital. He is survived and greatly loved by his wife, Adeline, sons David (Debbie) and John (Jan), daughter Terry (Geoff), 4 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, 3 sisters and 2 brothers. His beginnings as a salesman of Watkins Products in rural Saskatchewan eventually led, after many other pursuits, to a successful real estate career on the West Coast. Ernie loved to golf but when he was forced to give up the game, his energies turned to scouring the flea markets for old anniversary clocks which he lovingly restored. His innate sense of humour brought laughter to all who knew him, including his breakfast girls at The Pantry, Ricky's and The White Spot. Through our tears, we laughed with him, to the end. Special thanks to the caregivers at the Vancouver Cancer Clinic who, with their compassion and care, brightened and extended his life for the past ten years. Many thanks also to th!
e nurses at Eagle Ridge Palliative Care. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. There will be no service by request.
