Not sure what to say?

So very sorry to hear of your loss. Being a Navy veteran myself and originally from Rhode Island,I salute Earl for his service to his country and to his devotion to his loving family. God Bless!

I was saddened to hear of Earl's passing. I have many fond memories of my first deep sea fishing trip and many family gatherings with the Wrights and Sparks at the beach. My prayers are with you all at this time. I just have a feeling that Earl's buddy Mahlon(my dad) was ready too greet him on their next "outing". Bless you all.

Dear Aunt Bea and family -- Ah, yes I remember the Corp and Sparks gang getting together for a number of Thanksgivings (and even getting locked in the upstairs bathroom courtesy of Ralph!). We had great dinners and a great time. Uncle Earl always took time to talk to each of us and even showed me his ham radio. Then of course there were the summer visits to Green Hill and Earl's favorite boats. I will miss him and am sorry that I was too sick to attend his services. Love, Marge

I got to know Mr Sparks during the last ten years through his work at Green Hill Beach Club. He was always very fair and level headed as he made his judgements and offered his opinion. Earl certainly leaves behind a legacy.

On behalf of the Feisthamel family - please accept our sincere condolences, our prayers are with you Mrs Sparks.

To Aunt Bea and all of my Cousins,

My husband Robert and I send our deepest thoughts and prayers to for your loss.

Though I did not get to spend as much time with the Sparks family as did my mother, Aunt Tricia and Aunt Stephanie, of the times that I did spend with my Great Uncle Earl and his family, I do remember them fondly.

He was this very tall robust man with a gleam in his eye and a smile that could calm the fears in a very small child who did no know what to...

To my Aunt Bea and Cousins: My deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and father. Uncle Earl was one of the nicest and kindest people I have known. He always brought a smile to my face with his ham radio and other hobbies.

I recall fondly our many good times in your beautiful homes and the wonderful 75th birthday party you gave my mom many years ago.

I will not be able to attend the services, but my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

To Aunt Bea and all my cousins,
We would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to you all. Uncle Earl was one of the kindest and gentlest men I have ever known. I have fond memories of our family times at Jerusalem, Green Hill, Bedford, and Wakefield, and his unending patience and good humor while surrounded by over-active and curious children. I also remember well how he mentored the older ones, helping them find their way into adulthood. He was a caring and loving man and will be...

Oh, we never celebrate Thanksgiving without recalling those many great years in either Bedford or Edgewood enjoying the day with you all! And Earl was always such a pleasant, non-judgmental prescence!

On behalf of my mother & siblings, our sincere condolences, along with thanks for wonderful& happy memories.

Given Earl's awesome contribution in so many ways that touch current life for so many via Sanders (yes, I even remember they developed Pong even though I am not into...

I have fond memories of Mr. & Mrs. Sparks as they were close friends to my mom and dad. Mom was one of Bea's bridesmaids and she always remembered the wedding on Christmas Day. My condolences to all of you, he was an outstanding person and a delight to know.
