Earl hired me with Buick 38 years ago. I always appreciated him giving me a shot, and I've enjoyed my career with GM.

I loved playing golf with Earl in the GM league Wednesday nights at Brookwood. We had a lot of laughs and usually closed the place after golf.
He had a great wit and a lot of friends. i got to know his friends, some of which I worked with at GMSPO.
