Sonia Zinyk (AB Ed) .
Carla and Family – very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers with you.
My sincere condolences on the passing of Ernie Doktor. He will be sadly missed by family & friends. I remember Ernie as the vet in Smoky Lake for many years.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences. When Ernie had his vet practice in Smoky Lake we could always rely on him during calving season and throughout the year, even when we had to call him in the middle of the night. Wishing you peace during this difficult time.
Ernie was a very lovely man he was always when my dad needed him for a cow issue may you RIP and love your eternity with Kathleen.
For sure the best Vet we ever had or will have, we really missed your services when you retired. We basically grew up together in the cattle business from day one !! Condolences to the family.
We were deeply saddened to learn of the repose of Ernie, and we extend our condolences to the family. As many others, we had several interactions with him as a veterinarian, in which he calmly handled our pup’s vaccinations. He was kind and very patient.
We appreciated his friendliness and approachability anytime we would we meet.
May His Memory be Eternal!
