I've known Earl for many, many years he was one of a kind, I will miss seeing him stop by our office just to say hello. He nicked named me trouble so he didn't have to remember my name. I am saddened by such an unnecessary loss, but god has received a very special person in his kingdom. Good by my friend.

The loss of Earl is a true tragedy. He was such a kind, caring, and compassionate man. I have known Earl for almost 20 years. I remember when he fist came to Delbrook. He was a bit shy but he and I formed a very tight bond. Even recently he would come by my office just to see how I was and how my baby and family were doing. Earl was a true kind soul. I sure will miss you my FRIEND!! My deepest sympathies and prayers are with his father and family as they work through this loss. God Bless!!

I am saddened by the loss of Earl. It has been 17 years since I last saw him and I can still remember his smile, kindness, and positive attitude. He was fun to be around and made a lasting impression on me. I will miss him.
