Marie, We were sad to hear of the death of your husband and father and pray for God's grace and peace in the days ahead. May you find comfort in knowing Earl is safe in the arms of his Lord. Sincerely, John and Linda Geels

I will always remember Earl as the best person I ever had the chance to work with during my career in Ann Arbor. We will always treasure the memories and the fun we had working together.

Marie,
My prayers are with you and your family. I know that the lord will take care of you as you have taken care of so many of us through the years!

Dear Marie, I was a naturalist classmate of you and Earl at Six Mile Cypress Slough. I am so sorry to hear of Earls passing. If I can be of any assistance to you in Michigan or Florida, don't hesitate to contact me.
