Laura and Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. What a shock. We worked together at Jasculca/Terman and Associates, and he was extremely helpful to us, bringing his expertise to our firm to make us better financial managers. But beyond that, he was a warm, compassionate presence. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I am in shock, I just received an e-mail from Earl a couple of weeks ago on my birthday, and hadn't responded yet. I was just on-line and checking e-mails, I googled him and found that he had passed away, I can't believe it!!
There is great sadness in my heart, he was a wonderful man and was greatly loved by all, including me. I will never forget him and the wonderful times we had together,and his wonderful family. I wish, I could be there, I now live in Florida. Please know, he will be missed by Lisa and myself. He came when my Mom passed away, and I hope they meet in Heaven. God bless you and help you through this, Debbie, Jeff, Laura, Jennifer and all your family.
Love,
Adrienne

My deepest condolences to Earl's family. I was lucky to get to know Earl last summer when I trained with him in Chicago. During training I even got him to admit that not all Yankee fans were bad news and we bonded over our shared birth date. He is in my prayers.

Dear Laura and Jennifer,

Your father will truly be missed. He never hesitated to volunteer for parent groups that supported your school and church activities. He really made a difference with the Music Parents and the High School lock in parties. I pray that you find comfort in knowing how well he was respected by the other parents in Orland Park.
