Earl was a close friend of mine and Bruce during high school. We three always had a good time and spent many a laugh together! He will be missed!

I will always remember his love of an old car! I sold him my winter rat Cadillac in 1985! He loved his wife and sadly our lives went separate directions. I Know he will be missed greatly by all whose lives he touched.
