Earle became known as 'Doc' to many over the years. He was a third generation chiropractor by trade and established a successful practice in Mehoopany.
He enjoyed fly fishing for native brook trout in the brooks and runs of Mehoopany and Bowmans Creek, and passed along this affection for fishing to almost all of his grandchildren.

Earle was preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Nancy on Dec. 25, 2023; along with sisters: Betty Carichner and Alice Steiner; brothers: Raymond and Robert Ayers; and son in-law, Francis Howell.
Earle is survived by daughter, Kim Ayers Howell; sons: Keith (Vickie) Ayers and Kevin (Karin) Ayers; grandchildren: Megan, Aaron (Annmarie) and Collin Howell, Christopher Ayers, and Nathan (Jennifer), Tenleigh (Adam), Tierney (Joey), Reece (Sarah), and Carson (Rachel) Ayers; and numerous great grandchildren, and was affectionately known as pop to all.
