Tributes

Ervin was the best man that I've ever known. I hope I one day turn into at least half the man Ervin was. Ervin taught me many things along the way such as the value of a dollar, hard work, honesty, fairness and above all how to be a Christian. Ervin will be greatly missed but his legacy will carry on forever.
Marc Trollinger - Grandson
In my life I have met many people . To date Ervin ranks in my top two . He had all qualities a grandson looks to in a grandfather plus more. I enjoyed being around him and always wished for an hour or so to sit down and pick his brain about small engines. I know he will be missed greatly and thought of often . Love you all much
