I worked with Earl since joining McCarley Moving & Storage as their salesman. I got to interact with Earl doing this time and found Earl to be a man of honor and integrity in the way he went about his job and to get his customers taken care of with whatever it took to finish the job. I will miss his big smile and laughter each time I saw him. Always willing to give 110% and talking to him over the radio with signing off with "forty-four". He will be missed and my last goodbye of "forty-four, Earl".
