We are thinking of you and Cindy and your grandchildren. Earl was a r eal character and we loved him very much. He was Dale Earnhardt's favorite fan. We will never forget the fun we had when we went to visit you and Earl.

Earl will be missed by everyone he touched. I always looked forward to his visits to Ferguson's. We had some very good conversations & I will miss him. We could have solved all the problems if people would have listened to us.
