My prayers for Mary and the family. May you be supported in your time of sorrow by the grace of God.
While I never got to meet my uncle, I have been told a few stories by my father (Jack). Earl was blessed to have experienced all he did and to have made the memories each had.

Dear Mary and family,
Earl and I were classmates. It was always a pleasure to see him at
Our reunions. His smiling face will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathy to all.

Dear Mary and family, my deepest sympathies on the passing of Earl. He was a very popular classmate from the 1953 class of South Hills High School. He was one of the very active committee members of our reunion committee, and was the introductory speaker at our reunions. He will be missed. He will never be gone as long as his spirit lives in the hearts and minds of those who loved him.
