Diane, David and Tommy,
I just learned of your father's passing. I've kept up about him through mutual friends, Craig and Lynn Weaver. I remember as a kid playing in your basement and looking at but no touching your Dad's displays. Your Dad was a man to be admired. May he rest in peace. My condolences to all.

I am so sorry for the loss of your father, he was a wonderful person . When my husband Richard was alive he always thought of Earl as a good friend and fellow circus model builder.
