I had the privilege of growing up with Earl. From Kate M. Smith school all the way through Sparks High School. He truly was my best friend. We were always doing something together, flag football,basketball.....we were close. A couple of years ago we talked on our phones about class reunions, etc. I'm sure Earl is finally home and was pleased he had found JESUS. Though he be gone...He will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, my Brother. Robert & Donald
