I just would like to thank God for letting me meet Earl in this world. He was a great man and I will miss his handshakes the most. I'm just glad that he is with our Father and one day I'll be able to shake his hand once again.

I am honored that I had the opportunity to work with Mr. McAfee as his real esate agent. He had a wonderful personality and could always make me laugh. He will be missed by many, and at this time I send my prayers to Mrs. McAfee and his family.

David & I attended Northside Christian Church in the late '70's and were married there in 1979. Mr. McAfee was one of our favorite people. He was such a kind; friendly man. We never eat peppermint sticks without thinking of "the candy man".

My heartfelt condolences are expressed to the McAfee family on the passing of Earl, a long-time friend and former neighbor. He served his family, church, and community well, and was a generous giver who was highly respected by all who knew him. I will never enjoy a peppermint candy stick without thinking of Earl! He will be sorely missed.
