Earl's last message to us said "Good Morning if you are coming to visit us we are moving from North Carolina and that we would have to come to Tennessee to see him and may God take a likin to you". Well God has taken a liking to us and through Earl's kindness we will one day meet him again in heaven. Love you guys, Linda and Tim Twombly

Grace and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. It is so hard to believe Earl is gone, but we know that he is rejoicing. I will never forget all the trips to Algonquin, and him driving the big green bus! One year I almost didn't go because I had 2 ear infections, and my parents were hesitant to let me... Earl said "don't worry, I'll take care of her!" He heated up oil in a spoon over the campfire and put it in my ears... I was fine in a couple of days! I never forgot that trip! He will be greatly missed, but we will all be together again someday. Love and hugs to you and the family.

Grace and family, our hearts are so saddened with the sudden loss of Earl. He was such an intelligent man. We know how he loved God and going on the Work and Witness trips. His help around the church was immeasurable.He will be surely missed. We will miss his unique style. Once you met him, you never forgot him. As he always said, "Good Morning."

Aunt Grace, Ted, Tom & Tim - Uncle Earl was so giving! He was always willing to help out at Grandma and Grandpa Gilbert's house. Most of my memories of him are there. It's so unbelieveable that he's gone from his earthly home, but I know he's enjoying amazing things in heaven right now. :-) I love and miss you all. I will see you on Sunday. Love,
Tammy
