Lottie,
I will always remember that little boy on my bus and at school. He had the biggest heart and full of love. When ever I saw him over the years, he would give me that big smile. That told me he was still the same boy with the big heart with lots of love to give.

Earl, sweet, kind and always smiling--this is how I remember him. He was one of the old Centerville Gang. We used to have the best of times. He will be missed dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Earl was my childhood neighbor and friend. We grew up together playing matchbox cars (in the dirt), riding bicycles and dirt bikes, working on cars (I always had to fetch the tools) and driving cars way too fast. We had lots of fun and share some of our greatest childhood memories. Earl had a huge heart that was not always seen by everyone but if you knew him, you knew it was there and often saw it when you least expected it. Earl didnt have the quality of life over the last several years that anyone would want but he struggled through it and fought a tough battle. He is resting at peace now. May God bless Lottie and all of Earl's family and friends. May we all hold our memories of Earl close to our heart forever.
