Personal Stories
My Boompa
Ernest Ambrose Taylor was the most amazing man I have ever know. My Grandfather and one of the funniest men to ever live.
Ernie, as he was lovingly know as, was a man of many talents. Butcher, baker, handyman and woodsman. He taught me many things about life.
Forever my hero ❤️
