Uncle Earl was truly a Saint! He was a devoted husband and father, a doting grandfather and a best friend to everyone he knew. Words cannot express how much he meant to me. As my eyes well up writing this I can picture him so vividly in his faded blue jeans, t-shirt, Nike tennis shoes and his signature flannel shirt draped over his shoulders like a jacket. I actually have the exact outfit thanks to him. Uncle Earl was a father figure and mentor to me, and I am forever grateful for his love and kindness. Whenever we worked on a project, he always brought me a sandwich and chips for lunch. Aunt Carol made the best sandwiches! One day I was working on a project with Uncle Earl and Buck when I received a call that a property I owned had a kitchen fire and some severe smoke damage. I was pretty upset about the incident and really didn't have time to deal with it. Uncle Earl could hear me on the phone but never said a word. Later that afternoon I told the Dynamic Duo Earl and Buck that I wouldn't be available to work the following day due to the kitchen fire at the property. Uncle Earl said no problem we will take off tomorrow. The next day I arrived at the property bright and early only to find Uncle Earl sitting in his white truck paint roller in hand, with a loving grin from ear to ear, he said "come on Zorro lets knock this out and I will buy you a malt at Mc Donalds when we finish" he called the shakes, malts. Uncle Earl turned disasters into magical moments that is who he was. The absolute finest human being I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I am so grateful for the time that I had with him and everything he taught me. He will be missed by all that have had the pleasure of knowing him. I love you Uncle Earl! August aka "Zorro"

Earl was the best neighbor anyone could ever have. I love teasing him about putting tape on his shoes to make them last longer. When I look out my front window and see his house, tears come to my eyes. He would do little jobs for me, he would always say this is guaranteed.
