Read MoreHello Cousins. I just heard of Uncle Earls passing. So sorry for your loss. I last saw him when my Dad, Jim, passed away in 1999. I so enjoyed seeing him again. I have fond memories of our visits in Indiana when we were kids! Joyce (Finley) Knisely.

I had the pleasure of being in Earl's 4th grade class at Bloomfield, then got reacquainted with him when my children attended Longfellow and Hunt Schools where he was the principal. He was key in getting my education on track when I enrolled in his classroom which was truly life changing for me.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Rest in peace, dear one.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of working with Earl at Hunt Elementary School in the early 80's. He was such a kind and caring gentleman that certainly picked the right profession. He always had a smile and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, both staff and students. Heaven has gained another angel.
