After retirement he and his beloved wife Barbara moved to Holly Lake Ranch. Errol was an athlete and played basketball for Delmar Community College. He served his country in the United States Navy. Errol enjoyed fishing, playing golf (carding two holes in one) and spending time with family and friends. He was a faithful member of the Holly Brook Baptist Church. Errol acted as a father figure to anyone in need; he was always available to help in anyway needed. He loved people and that genuine compassion for people was what drew them to him for friendship and guidance. Errol will not soon be forgotten by all those he impacted in his life.
