Earle shared 40 loving years of marriage with Dolores "Dee" Sellars. Among his proudest accomplishments was not only the long-lasting love with his wife but also his participation in the "Knock Downs," a national bowling league at Pinewood Lanes in Spartanburg, SC, which showcased his competitive spirit.
Earle is survived by his loving wife; Dolores “Dee” Sellars, a son; Danny Sellars, three stepchildren, three generations of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, one sister; Norma Fowler, and one brother; Gerald Sellars.
