Not sure what to say?

Earl Downing was the greatest Father-In-Law a women could ever ask for. He was a proud and respectful man who my family misses so very much.

Hello and my sympathy to all who lost Earl, especially to Ethel my dear cousin who was Earl's life's partner for many years. He was a kind,loving man to many. So sorry I am not able to travel to the service. I remember his warm smile and genuine cowboy hospitality. I was happy to be able to do the portrait of Earl and Ethel together during a happy time. Me and my family who knew Earl will miss him.
Love and God Bless, Sylvia

We remember Earl very well when he and Ethel visited us in Ca. He helped Carl buck hay and cut wood. We enjoyed hamhocks and beans for dinner and felt we had known him for years. such a wonderful man.He and my husband Carl were both Marines so they were bonded from the start.Our love and prayers go out to the family and his wonderful sweetie, Ethel. Carl and Lenita Prentiss

So sorry for everyone's loss. All are in our prayers.

Earl was a second father to me. I can't yet imagine him being gone. His name for me was Sunshine and he truly added sunshine to my days. "Earl, I'll love you forever."
