Mr. Benny,
I love you and I give God all praise for you and your life. I prayer for your children and friends as we move through this life. When Jesus went to sit at the right hand of his Father, He said"There I go to prepare a place for you, So that where I will be you may be also." Jesus left us a comforter and my prayer is that we all will look to the Lord even now in our brokeness. May God bless you and your family always. With Love
Our Dad

Earl was the most soft-spoken, sweetest man alive. He was patient, even-tempered and never had a bad thing to say. His sweet smile was such a blessing to see while working with him for about 7 years. He will be missed by all. There should be more people like Earl in this world.

I had the privilege of working with Earl for 15 years before leaving Arizona & am so saddened by his death. He was a true gentleman in the very best sense of that word & the world is diminished without his light in it.

One of the most friendliest and respectful people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He had a smile everyday. He never let circumstances get him down. He was a great encourager. A good friend. I got all this from only knowing him for one year. He will be greatly missed.
