Dear Ernat Family,
Mr. Ernat made the cake for our wedding in 1978. It was absolutely gorgeous. My husband said that he has never seen a more beautiful cake in his life.. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Ernat Family,
Mr. Ernat made the cake for our parent's 25th wedding anniversary in 1980. He came highly recommended by other John Deere employees and I soon found out why. My parents have since passed on but pictures and fond memories of that event are still with us, and the beautiful cake is always front and center. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

The Cotton Family

To all the Ernat children who were students at Sherrard High School: I am vey sorry for the loss of your grandfather. Grandfathers are loved, missed, and remembered. I had forgotten that he made a delicious wedding cake for my daughter in l970 before i was a Sherrardie.

May you be comforted by knowing that he is with the Heavenly Father. Sincerely, Gwen Blais (Eng.)

We send our sympathy to Mr. Ernat's family. We were loyal customers each New Year's Eve for our first born son's birthday cake....probably 20+ years of cakes. God bless him.

Dan, Dana and the entire Ernat family,
Thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I had to smile when I read about the cakes. We were fortunate to enjoy them at work on many occasions!
Sincerely,
