Jamie, Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We will miss Earl so much at Piedmont Mechanical. The shop will never be the same without him standing by the picnic table smiling and always having a kind word to say to somebody. We will not forget him. May God comfort you in only a way that HE can. Love, Teresa Norris and the Piedmont crew.

Jamie and Family,

I am not sure if you remember me or not. I knew him when I was little and got to see him once or twice since I grew up. My daddy is Greg Fuller, another great man. Even though it's been over 30 years ago when I was little, I still have a very vivid picture of him in my mind. My daddy loved him very much and thought greatly of him. I am sorry for your loss and I am sorry I didn't keep in better with you and the family, the people that help us grow up. He was a very gentle sweet man. You are in my prayers.

Uncle Earl, I love you and miss you. I can't sleep from seeing you and that beautiful smile saying "Whats up Girl". You were a wonderful person, always happy and always smiling.
Thank you for helping my mom with Grandmother, that has always ment so much to her. Mom is missing you so much. You were like IDK, after PawPaw died and Grandmother getting sick mom could always depend on you.
We will take care of catching and eating the fish from the pond. My only prayer is that U will always be there with us baiting Great Grandmas hook, getting Kami untangled and taking the fish off the hook for Teresa.
I promise You Will Never Be Forgotten. RIP
Your Niece
