I have so many fond memories of "Mr. Whitehead" which includes working as a teenager with Jimmy and his dad in the appliance business. I had many "wonderful" meals at the Whitehead home. God bless such a wonderful family.

I AM SO SORRY TO LEARN OF THE PASSING OF EARL. WHEN HE AND MY DECEASED HUSBAND, BILL ALLEN, GOT TOGETHER THEY COULD TALK FOR HOURS. HE WAS A FINE MAN AND WILL BE MISSED. MAY GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVE THEM THE PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING.

Our deepest love and sympathy to the Whitehead Family during this very sad time. Mr. Earl was a dear friend of our family for many, many years. He and our Dad served on the Augusta Fire Dept. together, and were lifelong friends. May God bless and comfort this dear family in the days ahead.
