Earl and Anita lived next door to my parents out in Willow Lake. Spent a couple of years taking care of my folks when their health went south.

To Earls family. We are saddened to hear of Earls passing. My parents (Dottie and Bob) were their next door neighbors and more importantly, their very close friends for for almost 20 years in Prescott.
My father preceded him in passing by two weeks, so they're neighbors once again. Our condolances to you and all of his friends
on your loss.

To the family of Earl Willett, I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I know it must be a terrible lost for you. Earl was one of my my favorite people. His sense of humor and personality reminded me of my own father. He will be missed.
