Earl Sauers Obituary

I was sorry to hear about Earl. When we were growing up we always looked forward to spending time during the summer visiting with his family in Ludington. It was the only time we cousins were able to get together. We have a lot of good memories going out fishing with Uncle Russ and having picnics with the rest of the family along Lake Michigan...Mary (Wright) Jones, Woodstock, Va.

My husband, John Baggott III, and I offer our condolences at Earl's passing. Although we haven't had the pleasure of seeing him these past many years we both recall his hospitality and warmth while we visited him in San Francisco. John,his cousin, recalls many occasions together during their childhood. Our love and sympathies, John and Mary Baggott

Now there's some news I didn't want to get... Earl was my room mate and friend at State for 4 years. He was also my best man when I got married. Fantastic guy, great friend, and passionate about his camping and sailing.... My sympathies and condolences to Lois and the family... Let his memories, deeds, and actions guide you through this point in time and beyond....
