    I see Ernie and Jean dancing together this Winter Solstice in their matching western gear outshining that bright Christmas Star. Sending love to the family. Ernie was one special man.

    My memories are of Ernie Koukel back when he lived and worked in St. Paul Park. Remember his fall booya. Loved when he helped his sons make it for St. Bridgets. Brought back memories and it was so good. My sympathies to his family at this time

    I can’t remember when I didn’t know you Erne–1st grade, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, St Paul Saints baseball with your dad, missed your wedding, lunch a couple days after Jean died. God speed good friend.

    I remember Ernie from our Boy Scout days in St. Paul Park. Class of 1954. Ernie carried a stack of books home every day to study when working at the store. He got beat out for Valedictorian by Carol Owens who didn’t take any hard subjects.

    Ernie helped me remember the love I have for horses. Taught me all that he knew. He’s going to be so missed by me and I cherish the relationship I got with him.
