Dear Mrs. Yost and Family,

Dear Mrs. Yost and family;
I am so sorry to learn of Mr. Yost's passing. He was such a terrific guy. My memories of him go so far back........He and his Herald sports pages made so many of us who played Little League, Alumni League, Midget league, Pony League and other youth sports feel like Major Leaguers. As a kid, nothing beat seeing your name or your friend's name in the Herald, thanks to Mr. Yost. He and my Dad were also good friends. I still have a copy of the touching column that...

To the Yost family,
We have all lost a perfect gentleman who over 30 years ago gave me encouragement and guidance to enter in the newspaper business. Earl always treated those he wrote about with respect. As a writer, historian and a friend, Mr. Yost will be missed.
