Earl, my friend, I so wish we hadn't lost you so early. A more talented handyman will never be. I still reach for the phone to call you.

Earl was a blessing to those of us who knew him. He was always available to fix just about anything, from the roof to the crawl space and everything in between. Rest In Peace, my friend. Mary Auer
