The news of Earls passing came as a shock, and will be a great loss to those who knew him. I will always remember the eulogy Earl gave at my Fathers funeral even at a time of such great loss for our family Earl could bring a smile to our faces. He certainly was a special man. Our thoughts and our prayers will be with the entire Fetzer Family at this time of need.

We will always remember Uncle Earl as the big guy with the great big smile and a big heart! So many fond memories, there isn't enough space to describe, but our hearts and prayers go out to the Fetzer family. Love, Maureen, Brandon, and Bryson

My parents were close friends with "Uncle Earl and Aunt Dot" when I was growing up. Bonnie, Billy, Earl, Andrew, and Julie were like cousins to me and my siblings. To me, Uncle Earl was the tallest man ever, with the biggest smile and voice. So generous and fun. Our old home movies (we're talking the 60s here) feature him and his children. I will cherish those memories forever, and I know my parents, especially my father, Jim Lafferty, will miss him dearly.

I was associated with Earl through NABISCO. He was a fine person with a great sense of humor. He will be missed.

I worked with Earl when he was with Standard Brands, Nabisco and briefly with Burns Philp Food Ingredients. While at Nabisco, Earl reported to me and I want to tell you what a great employee he was. Descriptions such as hardworking, honest, a fantastic sense of humor made him loved by all members of our group. Earl handled Weis Food Service, Northumberland, PA. and no one on this earth could have done a better job taking care of Weis than he did-and Weis knew it. Earl did all the things needed- sales meetings, working with their reps, great relationships with the buyer and owner.

Earls love was Industrial Sales but when things changed and he was forced to work in food service, he did it with grace knowing in time things would change and they did.

I will miss Earl or as he was known as the "big E". I respect his work ethic and I loved his sense of humor and can say it was a priviledge to work with him.

I will not ever forget him.
