Albert E. “Ernie” Myatt of Holland, and formerly a 28 year resident of Newtown, passed away on Sunday, June 25, 2017, with his loving wife and family by his side.  He was 86.

Ernie was the beloved husband of 63 years to Jeanette D. Pressnell Myatt.

Ernie attended the Duke of York’s Royal Military School from age 11 until graduation, and went on to complete Officer’s Training, followed by five years of service to the British Army, during which time he was stationed in Africa.

Ernie later met his sweetheart, Jeanette.  The two were married in Dover, England in 1954 and immigrated to the United States in 1955, where Ernie led a successful career as a purchasing agent for Newman Paper Company in Philadelphia, retiring after 40 years.  He enjoyed golfing, tennis, and most of all spending time with his adoring family, who will miss him dearly.
