I loved it when Earl used to cut my hair for me he did a great job.

I was a customer of Earle's for over a decade and continued to travel to Saxonville for years after moving 20 miles away because I always considered him a friend, not just a barber. While I always got a great haircut, what I really looked forward to were his stories of hunting and fishing, hearing about the gun club and most of all, his beloved family. My deepest condolences to his family; I only hope they realize how many people had their days brightened by Earle.

I'm so sad to hear about Earle's passing. He cut my hair for over 25 years and not a single haircut would go by where he wouldn't mention one of his kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids. That was, of course, between hearing about the latest fishing or hunting outing, or trading stories about home projects, fixing stuff, and what was going on at the [rod and gun] club. Chair on the right will always be "Earle's chair".
