Thank you to all the supporters of the Ernau Family Benefit Fund. Yesterday the family attended Robby’s graduation from the TWU/MTA apprenticeship program. It was a bittersweet moment for the Ernau family, as yesterday was also Robby’s last day of work. Due to his diagnose and treatment plan, Robby is scheduled to retire in the coming days. Please continue to keep the Ernau family in your thoughts and prayers.
