STOREY, Ernest Andrew Storey - 1929-2024
A casual, informal gathering in honour of Ernest Andrew Storey
Ernest Andrew Storey passed away at 95 years of age on Monday, September 2, 2024 in his family home. He was a kind, compassionate man; he was witty, opinionated and outspoken and loved to laugh. He was likeable and charming in many ways. The word "enigma" is a fitting description of his character. He is deeply missed by his son Ernest John and daughter-in-law Elizabeth, granddaughter Megan and her husband Eli Gergolas.
Ernest was born May 27, 1929 in Northern Ireland and came to Canada as an infant with his parents Maggie and Tom Storey and brothers Adam and Thomas James. The depression of the 1930's made their new life difficult; work was scarce but they always had food on the table. Ernest and Mildred Louise Brooke were married in 1954. Their daughter, Pamela Louise predeceased them and the death of their infant daughter was a tragic loss for Ernest. He called her his little rosebud. When his granddaughter Megan was born, poppy and granny cared for her with love and affection during the day.
Ernest had a genuine, living experience in his life with Christ and is in heaven now praising God for the death, burial and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ, as his passport to glory.
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again may God
hold you in the palm of His hand.
Amen
