My condolences to the family. I worked with Earl at Air Products when he was in charge of shipping our large LNG heat exchangers. He often seemed to know more about the railroad than the railroad did.

My dad was such a fun guy, he always wanted to make sure everyone was ok and that we were together and happy...he will truly be missed by all...everyone who met him always laughed he made them smile...as under the weather as he was, he was still able to roll his eyes at me on Wednesday night when I left...I showed him minion toys, he knew what they were and shook his head and rolled his eyes and kind of laughed at me for having toys...I will miss him greatly, but try not to cry to much since he would want me to have fun!!!i love you earl

Our condolences to Earl's family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Earl entered our life a few short months ago when we became a part of the breezewood family. We will continue to think of him when we are at camp and smile knowing he is watching over those he loved. RIP "Uncle" Earl. Wish we had the chance to meet in person but it was great having conversations with you on the phone.

Sue - i consider you one of my dearest friends even though we no longer see each other on a daily basis - my friendship and caring for you will never end. I met your dad whenever I came to your house. He was always the sweetest and kindest man to me. He was always a gentleman in the true sense of the world. He was a gentle man and had an incredible soul. Your mom, you, your boys and their wives and now little granddaughter are so lucky to have had him in your life. Your boys have becomie outstanding, compassionate men because not only are you their mom but they were raised also by your mom and your dad. Always remember, your dad's legacy is carried on by them. I will always love you.

He was a good man that will be missed dearly. I remember countless weekends spent with earl up at his place in the mountains and how he treated me like a son with all the memories he gave me as they are passing threw my head with this message. He was kind and giving, showed me the ins and outs of a firearm and how ti use them and how to fish and stopping to get those oatmeal cream cookies we always had to have up at the moutains. I remember when he came to see my mom who past in sept and earl wasnt in the great health at the time but was there and carried that smile he always worn. You gave me lots of good memories that have past but never forgotten and you will be missed lots earl. Best wishes to janean and susan.
