We are very sorry to hear about Ervin’s passing. Our thoughts are with you. We had the opportunity to visit with Ervin and Tilda in Florida a few years ago, and we also knew them from the Lake.
Gord and Janie Seth (Maclean Lake)

My sincere sympathy goes out to Ervin’s family at this sad time. Ervin was a true gentleman, a
cherished neighbor and I will sorely miss his cheerful greetings and his sense of humour.

What a pleasure it was to know Ervine and his beautiful family. We had many conversations, laughs and good times with Tilda and Ervine in their beautiful home. I especially loved the stories of their past in Europe and their journey together. We are blessed to have known such a wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather and friend!!

Our deepest condolences to Andrea, Marty and her mother Tilda and Family. We were very sorry to hear of your fathers
passing, moments like this we cherish our beautiful memories are happy for a full life lived. Please know we are sending love and warm hugs your way! Bob & Lori Burke xoxo

My deepest condolences Tilda, Andrea and family.

Its a blessing in life that Andrea and I have called each other best friends for 40 years.
Its extra special when her parents Ervin and Tilda would say I was like a daughter to them.

I will cherish the 40 years of fun and friendship Ervin gave me.
If he wasn’t in the middle of the fun and games he would soooo happily put on his best poker face so others could enjoy a silly laugh or two.

Ervin thank you for the laughs, chats, tender loving moments and now for all the wonderful memories.
You always put a smile on my face and always will …. Thank you for that :)))

Love you all soooo much
XO
Glenda

Dear Andrea and Marty
We are sorry about the passing of your dear Dad…
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all…
Love, Joan Foster and Family

I was a neighbor and friend of both Ervin and Tilda for the few years I spent in Canada. I was so fortunate to have been able see them both this past September in Orillia. I will always remember his wonderful smile and the kindness he gave to my husband and me while we lived next door. Friends such as he are treasured forever. My deepest sympathy to the family. Love Peggy

Andrea, Marty, Tilda, Terry and Dana
With my sincerest regrets I am sending you all this message

Andrea, you and your Dad had a bond unlike no other. That is so special, so when you remember your Dad just remember the laughter you both shared. And when he looked at you I could see he absolutely ADORED you! So remember the love he had for you and hold onto that.

Marty, the relationship you had with Erving was like a true Dad, but also a true friend and how many men can say they had a special relationship like you and your father-in-law. Not too many, so be grateful for the love and respect you both shared for with each other. You had so many great celebrations and weekends up in Orillia, so cherish those memories.

Tilda, the love you and Erving shared seemed like it never died from the start. You both treated each other like you met yesterday. That is SO beautiful and how many people can say that. You treated each other like Kings and Queens so have no regrets just remember and cherish the laughter you shared together.

Terry and Dana, your Grampa’s eyes twinkled when he spoke of you both, and the few times I met your Grampa he spoke of you both often. So when you see something spectacular like a rainbow, or a cougar, etc. remember your grampa because he was just that, spectacular! Also, remember and cherish the laughter you shared together.

Ervin was one of the first people to see me after I was born. He was my Godfather and Tilda is my Godmother. I have a very special picture of both Ervin and Tilda and my parents, Ilona and Emil (Sr.) at my baptism with Father Gaspar in 1957. When the Hungarian Roman Catholic Church in Windsor was sold a few years ago, I purchased the baptismal altar and kept gave it to another Hungarian Church in Windsor so every time I see the Altar, I think fondly of Ervin and Tilda!

Ervin and Tilda emigrated from Hungary , along with my parents in 1956 and they were very close. I was fortunate to relive stories of those heroic and challenging days, with Ervin at his home a couple years ago. He had a great memory and I was fascinated about how much he and Tilda went through to get to Canada and raise a family. It was very challenging to leave your homeland in your 20’s and start a new life in a country where you don’t speak the language and the Canadian government gave you a voucher for $5.00 to get started!

Ervin was fun. Ervin was social. Ervin was smart. Above all, Ervin was loyal. Very few people on earth are married to the same person for 66 years!!It is hard for me not see both Ervin and Tilda at the same time. They were made for each other.

My memories started early. Hungarian’s love to party and there were countless occasions where Ervin and Tilda and my parents were together along with others just having a good time. They knew how to live.

Of all the people in the world, my mother and father would consider Ervin and Tilda among their closest friends. When they talked to each other, it was very genuine and loving.

I will miss Ervin’s smile and his laughter the most. He would smile and laugh easily. He was truly a Godfather to remember. I miss you Ervin. ALOT!!

Love always, Emil Simon

We have such great memories of a great man! Andre and I spent many days and nights with Irvin and Tilda at the cottage. We knew them as the cottage days. Irving made the best goulash on the open fire on the lake. We had so many wonderful nights sitting by the fire eating goulash or roasting bacon.
Irving will be in our hearts and thoughts forever.
To Tilda and the family our deepest condolences at this time.

Sending our heartfelt condolences to the Emerich family on the passing of a dear Husband and Father.
Out thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I had the distinct pleasure of working with Ervin at McDonnell Douglas for a few years in the 70’s and early 80’s. I am saddened to hear of his passing. He taught me to take pride in my work. He was always calm and thoughtful and I admired his serene nature. It’s a long, long time since I’ve seen him but he made a lasting impression on me at the tender age of 18 and I am still thankful for his guidance today. We used to have great conversations as he taught me the ropes in the empennage section. I wish I had seen him again after our time together at MDC to say thanks for helping me move on and chase my dreams. He was great guy! I’m sure you have even better memories of Ervin and I trust they will help you find peace in your time of mourning. Sincerely.

Our thoughts are with you Tilda.
I especially will remember your husband as someone who struggled as much as I do with the game of golf, but who enjoyed it none the less.
His humour never left him, even when events around him were not so smooth.
