Ernest E. Maiseroulle Jr., 78, of Peru, IN passed away on Saturday, November 28, 2020 at 11:59pm.

He was born in Pittsburg, Kansas on March 28, 1942 to Ernest E. Maiseroulle Sr. and Opal Mae Lee-Maiseroulle. Ernie was in the United States Navy.

Ernest married Glenda Kay Henderson-Maiseroulle on February 1, 1962 and she survives. Also surviving is their daughter Sherri A. Gasaway (Todd Gasaway) and son Todd E. Maiseroulle (Amy Maiseroulle).

His three granddaughters; Ashlee Shropshire (Ben Shropshire), Ty Anne Evans (Matt Evans), Caitlyn Maiseroulle and his five great-grandchildren; Lileigh Gasaway- Catt, Corbin Shropshire, Broden Shropshire, Willow Evans and Nora Evans.

Other surviving family members include his brother Charles Maiseroulle (Dianne Maiseroulle), nephews Travis Maiseroulle (Tyana Maiseroulle), Trevor Maiseroulle (Jenna Maiseroulle) and their families. Cousins, Pat White-Canfield and Bobby White.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother; Albert Lee Maiseroulle.

Ernest was a foreman boiler operator at the Peru power plant for 15 ½ years. He was also a skilled-trade boiler operator at Delphi General Motors of Kokomo, IN and retired after 28 years.

He was a member of the Murat Shrine and was a past president of the Kokomo Shrine Club. He belonged to the Shriner’s Clown Unit and was known as “Trashcan” where he traveled around parading, entertaining and raising money for the Shriners Children’s Hospitals.

He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast and had a true passion for classic Indian motorcycles. He took numerous trips on both his ’47 and ‘48 Indian Chiefs covering over 25 states in his travels. His 1947 Indian Chief was the feature cover and centerfold of Chopper Magazine in 1977.

Ernest was a one-of-a-kind family man and husband who loved his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren dearly along with every child that crossed his path. They were all truly touched by his compassion for them. He was an excellent listener that you could trust and call a true friend. Ernest was an animal lover and his yorkie, Daisy Mae, was his dearest companion.

Ernest was a man who could sit with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows and strike up a conversation and form a friendship with both. He led an adventurous life and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date; summer, 2021.

Memorial donations may be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children, Processing Center, PO Box 863765, Orlando, FL 32886.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home.
