I worked for several years with Ern aboard the Theresa E. Connor at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. Ern was very generous in sharing his knowledge with me about dory fishing. Ern treated me like a brother and we had a lot of fun working together and great yarns about our beloved NFLD. Please accept my sincere condolences on Ern's passing. It was an honour to have known such a great person and I will truly miss him. May God embrace you in comfort during this difficult time.

To Pressy and Family So sad to hear of Ern George's passing. We are thankful to have visited with him last summer as we really enjoyed our time. It was my first opportunity to thank him for taking me on the schooner from Port aux Basque to Millers Passage when I was just 10 years old. We are thankful that he had lived such a happy and long life. He will be in our prayers. Jim and Ethel Cochrane

I had the pleasure of working with Captain Ern at the museum for several years. Ern had so much knowledge and was always willing to help or answer many questions. He was a very kind man and a gentleman, I know he will be sorely missed. Sincere sympathy to all his loved ones.

To Erns family and friends Had the pleasure to work with Skinner at the museum for years. He basically taught me everything I know about rope. We had a lot of laughs during that time. Kind sole with a great sense of humour . I used to call him Jamican because he was outside so much on the Theresa E Connor he be black as the ace of spades, from the sun. He was a good head, he had a good life and talked of his family often , he was proud.

So sorry to hear of your loss, I remember fondly all of the time we spent with the Skinner family growing up. I can still hear Ern's knuckles hitting the table during a good card game with my parents. Death leaves a scar that no one can heal, But love leaves a memory that no one can steal
