Earl would occasionally stop by Maxx's in Charlottesville. He became good friends with my Mom and Stepdad. He was a good man. Deepest Sympathy to all the Family.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Earl. He was a friend from school many years ago. May he now be at peace.

I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet and work with Mr. Castle
at Charlottesville Dialysis. I smile when I think of him. I know that
he is in a good place today and I know that God will be with you during
this sad time.
Regards,

I miss my "brother" and friend a lot. He was a valued member of Living Stones Church, singing in the choir, helping with transportation needs, and especially helpful with our special meetings and fellowship cookouts, which he loved. He frequently called me up to go out to lunch at The Corner Restaurant or would be nearby close to quitting time and take me to my car so I'd not have to wait for the bus. He loved people and he loved driving the taxi. There will always be a special place in my heart for my friend and "brother" Earl, and I look forward to seeing him again in Heaven.

My heart goes out to the family of Earl Castle. Earl, myself and my brothers (Harold & G.W.) grew up in the same neighborhood. We all thought alot of him. My you all find comfort in knowing that he is in a better place - pain free. It was such a shock to hear of his passing as when our mom passed away over a year ago Earl was right there on family night.
