It was upon the mourn
That I saw a ship a sailing

And he was at the rail
With shipmates once again.---rs

Earl was my neighbor at Riverwood Condominium for many years and I enjoyed talking to him about his Family Tree, he loved to search on the Internet. We also had fun playing games in our Rec. Rm. He was a busy man,loved helping people and loved The Lord.
Prayers for the family. Rest in peace
Earl.

My Uncle Earl and Aunt Ruth became like a second set of parents when I moved to Portland in 1964 to attend college. Their love, kindness and generosity to me has always been appreciated. Their concern for others and volunteer work in the community is a real inspiration. They are both gone now, but they remain with me in many wonderful memories.
