Dr. Earl M. TAPLEY

I know we lost a dear man here on earth, but Heaven has a new Angel. What a dear sweet friend Earl was. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in peace my friend.

Dr. Tapley was one of the finest men I have ever known. He was outstanding in every way as a scholar, pastor, community leader, educator and of course, a friend.

Dr. Blake Wagner Sr., Mansfield, Ohio and Largo, FL.

Dr. Tapley wrote a letter to Indiana University & they admitted me on the basis of his letter. I had finished all my elementary education requirements at U of E (Evansville College then) requirements but was newly married & wanted to move with my husband. That wouldn't happen today I don't think. I remember him with lots of gratitude for his excellent council
ling. To Sharon (a Phi Mu sister) & Annette please accept my sympathy.

PLEASE ACCEPT OUR MOST HEARTFELT SYMPATHIES FOR YOUR LOSS…OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

I worked for Dr. Tapley and he was always very considerate and polite to me. I am very sorry to learn of his demise. You have my deepest sympathy.
