Earl was the sweetist man. He taught me to drive when I was 17 (we just missed an accident by a couple inches). His wife was my mother's best friend. We spent many times at church picnics and just all hanging out. He was so special and I will miss him so very much. He was very patient and kind. God comfort and bless his beloved family.
