Earl was such a fine Gentleman...I feel privleged to have known him, so sincere and kind. When his sisters talk about him, you can feel the love and admiration. He was part of the greatest generation, and the world has lost a great man, while God has gained a new Carpenter. We love you Earl, Betty, and children.

I will always remember Uncle Earl for his generosity, his strong work ethic, his love for the Lord, and his devotion to his family. Still working at 82 years of age, he never really retired! A master craftsman, he has left a legacy of fine wood work and many quality homes to his credit. As a loving husband and father, he leaves a wife and three children as a legacy of a life well lived. May he now find eternal peace in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our condolences to Aunt Betty and his family.

My memories of Uncle Earl always include his gentle, sweet smile he seemed to always have on his face. This had to be testimony to his total happiness and faith. He will truly be missed in our family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Betty, Doug, Jeff and Deb.

With Love,
