Obituary of Ernest S. Van Arsdale

Ernie lost his 3 1/2 year battle with cancer on Friday, July 26, 2013. He was 78 years old. He leaves behind his loving wife of 57 years, Pat; Five children, Stan (Pam), Steven (Patty), Ernie, Robbie, and Gina (Damien); 12 Grandchildren, and 6 great grand children whom he loved dearly. Three sisters; Afton, Leslie and Frances, brother James, and many nieces and nephews. His family was by far his greatest joy. He was so proud of each and everyone of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He enjoyed going to all of their activities. Ernie loved to talk about sports with family and friends. Ernie will be missed so very much by all of us... The 23rd Psalm The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Services entrusted to Melrose Abbey Mortuary
