HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Neighbors gather to celebrate Ernie Norgard, turning 90

(WSB photos)

Ernie Norgard is such a good neighbor, his neighbors in an area west of The Junction got together tonight to wish him a happy birthday.

It’s a milestone birthday – Ernie is turning 90 tomorrow.

Sue, who told us about tonight’s celebration, explained, “He’s a inspiration & a helpful kind man who does yard work for some lucky neighbors (including me)!” Check out this mowing/edging job:

Ernie has lived in West Seattle his entire life, Sue tells us.

    Happy Birthday Ernie! Here’s wishing you many more. Straight, deep edging lines like those put all the rest of our lawns to shame.

    Happy Birthday Ernie!!One of the lovely things about West Seattle, are those neighbors around us who have lived here their whole lives and are GREAT neighbors, like Ernie. We have some of those too in the Gatewood Hill area.
