Earl P. Leriche

Thinking of you today, Earl. I sure miss all the laughs we used to have and the fun we had at Cardinals games, singing old-timey songs, or sharing a beer outside in the summer or at Friendly´s. You were the best thing on the corner of Roger and Parker in South city St. Louis and we will always miss you!

I am Earl's daughter and we didn't spend a lot of time together do to the fact my mom divorced him when I was only 4 years old. I have to say the last couple months of his life were great times with us talked about all the past years and times we missed together. Unfortunately his girlfriend abused him so bad he didn't have the strength to fight it and build his self back up. Love and miss you.

I am so grateful to have met and known Earl. I lived in the same building during the pandemic and "lockdown" and I have lots of fond memories of sitting out in lawn chairs with Earl, listening to Cards games, talking about music, Gunsmoke and other othd TV shows and singing some too. He was always so good to me. What a special man who was kind and open to making a new friend. I hope I can have half as much grace in life as Earl did.

My condolences to the family. I´ll be praying for your strength. Earl was a very special person to me. Our conversations were priceless, discussing baseball, life , and so many other things. Love you Earl Rest in Power

Sure am going to miss Uncle Earl Playing his guitar or just giving Him a big Hug . Earl was a gift to the St . Louis Music Scene . He was a good communicator and he would light up the room with his smile .

One of 10 + children, Earl "the singing wonder" LeRiche grew up in rural Webster Groves, Missouri and spent most of his last 30+ years in the City of St Louis in Tower Grove South. He was a die-hard Cardinals fan who wore his Cardinal red with pride and enjoyed sitting outside his apartment building listening to games on the radio and socializing with the friends and neighbors who walked in and out of the building. He was physically strong and active into his elder years and always had a rake...
