Not sure what to say?

Earl will be missed by many. He is remembered as a part of our family. We had many fun days growing up. I remember when they had the house behind anderson's and trying to ride bike's with Kathleen and Jaki. And all the song's that our dad's sang together and the meals that our mom's cooked up together with what we had at the time. The memeories of the logging outfit that Earl had in Republic and what an Icon he was. I remember when they moved out to the big house and got the new pool. ...

Earl will be missed he was a big part of our family life growing up we always had a lot of fun with the family the parties the singing we all enjoyed together. My prayers are with everybody I love and miss you all .Sharon Davis Florida

God was holding his hands out welcoming him home. I haven't seen all of you in a long time, but when my Daddy (Sam Shiflett) told me that Earl went home to be with God, tears welled up and I was sad yet happy that we all are family and that we got to know him. Both Tony and I can remember camping and getting the mumps from Kathleen and Jacki one summer at Twin Lakes. May you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and God has another angel to guide and care for us all. We love you...

Thinking of you.

I did not know Earl personally, but went to high school for a couple of years with his youngest daughter Julie. I always knew of Julies's love and admiration of her Daddy and of his love of family, and commitment to community. Earl's life story is truly one of 'a productive member of society' that I can only hope to lead, by example, for my own children. Julie, I am so sorry for your loss and am thinking of you and your family during a very difficult time.

"I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength. The time we have spent with those we've lost makes them part of us."

I have not personally met Earl but he has a friendship with my daughter. My daughter met him at her place of employment and told me what a wonderful person and friend Earl is. May God bless comfort and guide Earl and all of his loved ones.
