Dear Linda, Butch, Michael, Keith & Tim,
I was so sad to hear about Earl and sorry I couldnot make it to the funeral.
Rick & Bev (Tuny)told me how nice it was.
You all do know that his greatest acomplishment in life was how great you boys all turned out. He was so proud of you. I am sure he will be missed by all whose lives he touched.
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
Love

Butch, Mike, et al. Sincerest thoughts and prayers to you all on the passing of your dad. I met him a couple of times and he was a great guy. Stay tough and keep the faith.

I spent over 30 years in the Labor movement and most recently a half-dozen as a judge hearing labor disputes. In that time I met and worked closely with many people of varying skills and temperament. In all that time, there were few who I respected and liked as much as I did Earl.
Earl and I worked closely regarding the UAW's relationship with the City of Detroit, and on a number of other public sector issues. Earl was always well prepared, reasonable & good humored and, as a result, Earl routinely delivered the goods.
Earl's move to the academic world was, for him, a great and well deserved career move. It was a loss for the Labor movement.
I regret, and deeply resent, his early demise. He was a fine and honorable man. Life is not fair or reasonable.

We offer our deepest sympathy. Earl was a good man. He meant a lot to our whole family. We all have fond childhood memories of him and he will always hold a special place in our hearts. Our dad sure thought the world of him. He truly loved Earl. They shared a friendship that is rare. Dad was always bragging about him. He was so proud of Earls many professional and academic accomplishments, but most of all he was proud of Earl as a human being. He always used to say that Earl was his "favorite son". That speaks volumes about what kind of person Earl was and how he touched the lives of others. We are deeply saddened by the loss but take solace in knowing that Earl and Warren are together again. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Hartman family.
Love
