Earl Wesley Ling Jr.

Sylvia and Family,
I am so deeply saddened by this news. I'm so sorry for your loss. You all will be in my prayers.
Love,
Marcia Smith

I had the pleasure of working with Earl for several years. Although our contact was only on the phone and through email, I was fortunate to get to know him. He was truly a remarkable man. I miss Earl’s wit, his wisdom, and most of all his wonderful sense of humor. My life has been enriched by knowing him. My condolences to his family in this difficult time.

earl was a great guy but more importantly, he was a genuinely thoughtful and caring person. i'll remember my time with him at channel 8 very fondly.

my best wishes to sylvia and her family.

The phrase, “Hale fellow well met” fit Earl perfectly. I had the pleasure to work with Earl for several years at KOLO-TV. Not only was he a consummate pro, he always brought a smile to my face whether just greeting him in the hallway, or working on a project with him. Whenever I had a new joke to try out, Earl’s office was always the first stop on my rounds. I will miss him greatly.

Sylvia--please accept my sympathy for the loss of your beloved husband.

Earl was an awesome employee and his knowlegdge, experince and friendship will truly be missed.

Earl was my father-in-law for 8 years. He was loving and selfless - generous to a fault. His dovotion to his grandchildren was phenomenol. Blessings and prayers to Sylvia and the family as they cope with Earl's sudden death.
