When I heard that we lost Earl my tears flowed freely. Earl was our neighbor (right across the street) for 15 years, he has been a constant in my life since I was 28 years old. Being a southern girl, he always made me feel "at home". I have been particularly fond of his fishing chair in the front yard, when people asked about it, I would always tell them how much I loved it! Earl's HUGE personality and UNINHIBITED way of expressing himself always brought a smile to my face. His passion for his antique car collection made me feel like James Dean was pulling out of the driveway when he was in one of them. He was sincere and he was true. I am glad he did not have to see them laying the city water pipe through his front yard! I loved him, he was an uncle to me. He will be missed immensely.

My deepest condolences are with your family. God offers us comfort we all need. "There is going to be a ressurection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." May you find much comfort during this grevious time.
