Earl's dedication to his family and community, and innumerable skills offered so willingly and with an eye to detail, will be sorely missed. I am grateful to God, who heals in the name of Jesus Christ, for his care in Southside Regional, marked by times of both silent struggle and alert presence, and his peaceful passage. Pastor Bob
