SOUTH CASCO – Ernest Barile, 93, of South Casco, died Monday, Nov. 1, 2021 at Bridgton Hospital. He was born in Patterson, N.J., Nov. 21, 1927, the son of Carmen and Katarina(Negri) Barile.

He grew up in Fairlawn, N.J. and graduated from Fairlawn High School. Ernie served in the Army Air Force in World War II. After the war, he worked for a time training thoroughbred horses which brought him to Maine and Scarborough Downs, where he met his future wife, Joan. His work changed to metallurgy to accommodate a schedule more conducive to starting a family.

Ernest enjoyed fly fishing in his spare time but his true love was his family, especially his grandchildren.

Burridge of Chelsea, Mass. and Joseph Barile and his wife Sally York Barile of Yarmouthport, Mass.; his grandchildren, Jessica and Amanda Barile and Paul Anthony Burridge and Cody Burridge; and his great-grandchildren, Theodore and Franklin Fiumefreddo.
