Betty, Juanita and Children,

I was saddened to hear the news about Joe Earl. Most of you do not know me, but Joe Earl and I were great friends. During his time at Forrest High School. We played sports together, hunted together, rode in his Model A Ford and generally had great times together.

Joe, Tony Holmes and I later were roommates at the University of Tennessee.

He was a truly great man and I will miss him. My wife Jackie and I send our deepest sympathy....

Dear Catherine, Chris, Graham and Jacob,
Your father and grandfather was a very handsome man and marine!
I am so sorry to learn of his death. I know that some of your spunk, Catherine, must have come from your Dad and so I believe he enjoyed life to the fullest. I will remember your family in my prayers knowing you will be missing his presence.
