I will always remember Earl's smile. He would sometimes have the meanest look on his face, but it meant absolutely nothing--his smile could brighten the darkest room. He's always been a good person and, along with his brothers, has always been considered family. I will remember him always. My condolences to Sis. Catlett, Sis. Linda, Bro. Brian, Bro. Chris, Bro. Timmy, Earl, Jr., Jill and the rest of his family and close friends.
