From Erky's High School Classmates of 1951, our sincere Condolence. He was well liked and a great competitor.
Praying for your peace and comfort Martha. All our love, Doug, Amanda, and the Thompson clan.
Martha, Dave and I are thinking of you and wish you all the love and support at this time. One of things that I loved so much from Erwin was his quiet way of assuring me, when I was so worried about something going on in my life. So many people whose lives were touched by him, will surely miss him. Take care, I'll be in touch, Andrea
