To the family of Ernest Eichel we send our heartfelt condolences. Especially to Leah and Scarlett whom we have met..We never formally met with Mr. Eichel but we live close to where he lived on King St., and we often saw him working in his yard. He certainly seemed to love a well groomed home.Most outstanding we hear many statements concerning his strong faith in God. We are sure all of you have so many good memories to cherish.Thom & Ann Walters
My dearest Grandpa, you will be so GREATLY missed by me more than anyone could ever know. Grandpa, you and I had one of the most incredibly special relationships and one that I will treasure, cherish and keep with me everyday until I can join you and Grandma in heaven and we can be together again. I will take you and everything you taught me everywhere with me. Grandpa you are and forever will be in my thoughts, my heart, and my prayers, and I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. I am so extremely sad that I cannot be there with you and the family at this very difficult time, but please know that the family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
