It is with sadness that I learned of the passing of Earl.
He was my teacher and colleague at Indiana Tech. He was smart, dedicated and humble. He loved life and gave a lot of himself so that his students could succeed.
He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Thanks for teaching microprocessors and computer engineering, Earl. I really enjoyed those classes. Play ball!

I didn't know Earl well because I always taught in "that other building" :) but I admired him greatly. He had an awesome smile, he was kind, he was dedicated to his profession and his students, he was intelligent but humble. He was special to everyone who knew him at Indiana Tech.

I was fortunate to have worked with Earl for seven years at Indiana Tech. He was always kind, humble, and very dedicated to his work as an Engineering educator. I offer my expression of sorrow to his friends and former students. Peter F. Sorensen
