Uncle Earl. You shared a nick name with my Father "Skip" and you were a Father to me after Howard passed away. Words cannot express my sorrow nor my joy for having the honor to be your Niece. How you showed me love throughout the years especially the last. You were always there for me and always true family through thick and thin. You were a great mentor, teacher of life, and will never forget your laugh and your goodbye on the phone which was love you kid ,take care .....I had a dream...

like the flame on a candle, you were a light in danny's life.

your booming laughter and your zest for life will always be remembered.

Alyce and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you while we know God's Shalom surrounds you at this time. As a young immigrant family at the time, we remember with deep appreciation and love, Earl as our first Pastor and friend in Salt Lake City. He described the memory of all his firsts in his ministry in a memo: "It was a privilege and honor that takes a lifetime to cherish". We're thankful we could meet one more time a few years ago. John and Anne Pos.

Alice, I a so sorry for your loss. Please let me know when you are in Middleville. Love to do lunch.

Skip was among the best teachers I ever had. Loved him. Sorry to read of his passing. Will always appreciate what he gave to his students at GRCHS.
