Ronnie & Barbara; I am really at a lost for words. I Loved my Best Little Friend so much. He was truly a joy to work with at the Arc. We had a special bond no one could ever take away. Earl will always remain in my heart and spirit. We both loved our "Beads". Will truly miss him.

I've known Earl almost all of my life. He was a great friend. I'll always remember the last hug he gave me. I have a pic of it. Never saw his obituary in the paper. He will always be missed.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Earl was a very special person in my life he always made me smile no matter what. He came to see me just a few weeks ago and he was just as happy and outgoing as always. I worked with Earl at Floyd County High School. He will always be in my heart. God Bless you all

Earl was a blessing to all that knew him. I worked in Bedford Day support for a year and he was one of my favorites. I can see him snapping his fingers to come to him. He would say he was modd(mad) and then laugh when you told him we were going to call Pops. He loved everyone and let you know he was around all the time. He always showed his love for you and wanted your attention and got it from everyone. I will miss him and carry him in my heart always.Gale Mitchell,Lamano agency.Lynchburg

Earl was a very special and loving young man. He was an inspiration to all who knew him and I am honored to have spent time with him. I only wish I had met him sooner so that his bright smile and sunshine could have blessed my life earlier. Earl, one day you and I will dance again. To Ronnie, Barbara, Elizabeth and all his family you have our love and prayers.
