It was, with regret, that I learned, this morning, of Earl's passing. I am going to miss our Araby Church Road chats. My condolences to the family, while he will be in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.

For over 35 years as I passed through the gates of 75-80, Buddy was always there with a smile on his face and a word or two on the days events. For us long time regulars, he always knew our names.Buddy, we will miss you my friend!

Will always remember Earl being at 75-80 Pit Gate, sitting at his garden on Araby Church Road and riding by yelling his name. He always liked to watch the deer in the evening too. He will be greatly missed. Sorry about your loss Yogi and family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I had many a good time growing and spending time with my grandparents at Buddy's and as I got older and was in the Fire Dept. I enjoyed talking to him. I will miss him greatly. Although he is probably playing cards with the ones that have gone on before.
Love

I've been away from Araby Church Road for a few years now, and theres things I'll always remember, one of which was seeing Buddy ride by on his tractor heading to his garden. It was always good to see him. My condolences to the Lenhart family.
