May God Rest you. "Uncle" Ermel, I will miss you.
I'll never forget you telling the story of how your car got pulled into the river while still hooked to your boat trailer.
Gale, you have my deepest regrets.
To the family of Ermel, I am sorry for your loss, and as a friend, he will be missed. TJTOAD AKA Dose4dollars..... Tim

I personally worked with Ermel for at least 8 years, He will be missed . He died doing what he knew with his retirement in sight, but i think he would rather be
working. A very sad day at battelle, for all the former bartlett workers who worked with him another on has fallen from the west jeff site. to all be carefull and live day to day.to his wife i send my deepest sympathy. I hope he sitting abck enjoying a cold one at the moose lodge in heaven. :'( :'( :'( :'(
I didn't work with Ermel very much. I wasn't at Battelle for very long. But, to me, he seemed very sweet. I guess he just couldn't retire for long. :) I know that he will be missed by all that had the pleasure of meeting him.

Worked with Ermil at Davis Bessie for one outage in 92. Loved his no nonsense attitude. I have fond memories of him. Prayers to his family and God bless.

I too worked with Ermel at Battelle in the early 90's. I was a house supervisor in my early 30's, while Ermel was a 50 something year old Sr Tech . I'm quite sure Ermel had forgotten much more than I ever knew, but you'd never know it. He was a true professional. Never missed a day, never late, never a problem with any decision he ever made, never any problems period. He was a man in motion; always staying busy. Always willing to share his wisdom and experience with whomever was smart enough to listen. He made a very positive impact on me and many others. I'm sincerely appreciative to have known and worked with Ermel. My condolences to his family.
