He also was a lifetime member of South Shore Yacht Club where he and Jean shared many happy times together on their boat. In addition, they were part of a Corvette group where so many memories were made and shared with friends.
Erv loved and adored his wife Jean, caring for her until he was no longer able. They were a match made in Heaven, always together.
