Earl came from a time in Glenview where farmers gathered at its country stores to chat and swap stories. Sadly that time is now gone. But Earl still enjoyed driving his truck with his little dog beside him. He was very kind to my brother and I by bringing us barbecue chicken plates whenever the Fire Dept. or churches would prepare them. Earl will be missed.
