He was very active in community affairs and graciously donated his time and talents to many worthwhile projects.

He helped establish the Aspinwall water system and the Templeton sanitary sewer system. He also laid the legal groundwork to gain access to Bureau of Reclamation power from the Missouri River Basin for the town of Manning. Erwin was very Involved with and instrumental in the success of the Manning Hospital and Manning Plaza Nursing home.
Erwin's passion in life was his work. In his later years, he continued to practice law serving of counsel with Bunz and Gaffney law firm in Manning until the time of his death. He was very interested in family history and history in general, the City of Manning and his apple orchard. His brothers and sisters and their children were very important to him. Erwin was a member of Zion Lutheran Church and a 50-year member of Post 22 of the American Legion.
