I am so sorry to hear of Earle's passing. He and I shared deer hunting stories and sat next to each other in school at CP. Not that long ago Earle and I talked about his Aunt who was in an assisted living facility in Sault Ste. Marie. We visited her but soon after she passed at over 100 years old.
RIP.my friend.

Bettie, Earle D, and Chris, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Earle D and Chris, you may not remember me, but I am Pam's sister and I used to babysit for you many years ago. Your dad was such fun and as mentioned in the obituary, he really did love to meet and talk with people. He will be missed.
