<div itemprop="description">LEIPER, Ernest Alexander <br> <br> <br> <br>It is with a heavy heart the family of Ernest Alexander Leiper announces his passing at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on Saturday, February 13th, 2016 at the age of 84 years. Ernest was born on November 21st, 1931 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is survived by his daughter Tracy (Michael Kambeitz) and their children, Bryce, Lexi and Tucker; and his daughter Barbara (Shawn). He will be deeply missed by the many family and friends he met during his long and adventurous life. Ernie was a hardworking, honest man that lived every day to the fullest. He spent his youth sailing the Great Lakes with the Merchant Marines and his working career with CN Railway, retiring after 40 years of service. Ernie spent his summers with many of his friends on the greens of Elmhurst Golf and Country Club near Winnipeg and his winters at a hockey rink. Ernie loved to tell stories and hear the stories of others. He was never afraid to speak his mind, tell the truth that you needed to hear and when you needed to hear it. He was a passionate man that was always the life of any party and believed that age was only a number not something to slow you down. A Memorial Service will be held at the Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45 Street, Red Deer, on Friday, February 19th, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the Heart &amp; Stroke Foundation, 202, 5913 50 Avenue, Red Deer, AB, T4N 4C4. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br></div>
