Not sure what to say?

Laura, I just happened to run across this just now. I would like to express my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Your dad was such a great man. May God bless your family through this difficult time. I know how much he meant to you and I truly am so sorry for your lost.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Debbie n family I am so sorry for ur loss he was a great boss n will be greatly missed

Earl was such a kind and wise man. We will miss seeing him come into church. He was very faithful. Prayers for you and your families will continue in the coming weeks. His love, Don and Pam Keene

Ed, Doc and Dean have been waiting. Now they can have their golf foursome again.
Your dad was such a sweet man and he will be missed.

Tom and I both had the pleasure of working with Earl. I was Earl's Secretary and Tom as a Supervisor. We have kept in touch thru the years. He would often stop by my current office of employment to visit and keep me updated about his family. I will dearly miss him.
Tom and I will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Tom and Vicki

I knew one day, I would have to say good bye, but not yet ... not now. I'm grateful for his peaceful passing. He excelled in everything ... even in slipping away to the other side. I hope Heaven is full of running trails, most beautiful golf courses and a love seat for he and Marilyn. He probably has his own desk with his name on it in.
I'm sure Shawn was happy to see him, too. I will miss you. I will miss eating supper with you when I've joined you and Laura .. here and there...
