He often said that he walked uphill both ways to and from a one-room elementary schoolhouse, and later attended high school in town.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the majority of his working career, Ernie was self-employed with his own sand and gravel business and then for many years as a Foreman at the Town of Huntsville as a dump truck\/snowplow driver (posthumous apologies regarding multiple mailboxes that fell victim to him). He shared a great camaraderie with the team at the Town and when the snowfall was heavy, they often worked extended shifts spanning more than 24 or even 36 hours to keep the roads safe. Ernie retired from the Town in 2000 just months after Wayne Gretzky, whom he idolized, left the NHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ernie\u2019s greatest passion and commitment was always to his Holinshead family. Spanning many decades, he volunteered thousands of hours to Huntsville\u2019s minor lacrosse, junior lacrosse, and minor hockey system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every sports season he could be found managing one of his sons\u2019 all-star teams, contributing to the Huntsville Forester sports page and\/or driving the infamous Hawk Bus for the road games. He also sat on various executive committees for lacrosse and in the 1980s was recognized, along with his wife Audrey, for their contribution to minor sports in Huntsville.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ernie was also a huge fan, supporting his sons\u2019 and grandchildren\u2019s teams, and often generously shared his views with respect to the referees\u2019 performances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ernie is predeceased by his wife of 42 years, Audrey Holinshead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ernie is survived by his sister Ruth Kay and his sons Rick Holinshead (Judy), Reg Holinshead (Donna), and Ron Holinshead (Tracy). He is also survived by grandson Todd Holinshead (Ashley), granddaughter Rebecca Zettler (Luke), and grandson Ryan Holinshead. And finally, survived by great-grandsons Jack Holinshead, Nolan Holinshead, Beau Zettler, and great-granddaughter Audrey Holinshead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Ernie\u2019s request, there will not be a service \u2013 we simply ask that those who knew him, hold Ernie in your hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Huntsville District Minor Lacrosse Association.
