He was born May 15, 1927, on the family farm in Brookfield Township, one of four sons born to Albert and Sophie (Kriz) Schultz. Ermand grew up and received his education at the Brookfield Township Country School.

A quiet, gentle, caring husband, father, brother, and friend, Ermand was a farmer who farmed land and raised cattle, and enjoyed taking care of the animals. His hobbies included feeding and watching birds, reading, making toy harnesses for miniature horses, crafting wind-powered lawn ornaments that were made out of farm equipment, and collecting horses and carriages. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, and enjoyed going to Arizona in the winter with his wife. Ermand also loved going for car rides with her, especially if it was to Wal-Mart (his favorite store). He always enjoyed his candy.
