My sincere condolences to Mrs. Dunkleburger and family. I have fond memories of riding with Earl and feeding the deer in Muhlenberg. I also enjoyed listening to his stories and the experiences he went through, throughout his journey in life.
He is one of a kind. I will never forget him.

Earl was a wonderful, energetic person that would outpace me in the hallways most mornings during his exercise routine and my delivering his daily newspaper. I was fortunate to have met him.
