In an instant a life becomes a dash. On April 20, 2020, the hardest working man anyone has known passed away out in the shop where he loved to be. Ernest Elmer Hemp was born in Pine River, MN October 22, 1941 to Sylvester and Ellen (Rasmussen) Hemp. They later moved to Middle River where he grew up. While in high school he worked in the potato fields for Hvisten’s. He also played football and basketball-which he played like football because he always fouled out. He received his GED from Middle River High School. In January of 1959 he joined the Navy and got medically discharged (bad knees from playing football) in March of ’59.
