Howard Earling Obituary
Millville - Howard "Blair" Earling, age 83 of Millville, passed away Sunday, June 6, 2021 at Inspira Medical Center in Vineland after a brief illness.
Blair was born in Millville to the late Howard Russell and Sara Katherine (Slimmer) Earling. He graduated from Millville High School, Class of 1955 and lived most of his life in Millville.
From 1955 to 1959 Blair served in the United States Navy serving as a Seaman and a Motion Picture Operator.
After 28 years, Blair retired from Wheaton Industries, where he worked in many different departments.
Blair was a member of Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Millville. He enjoyed playing his guitar and he certainly enjoyed life. Blair's great sense of humor could make anyone smile. He always looked forward to his monthly luncheons with his classmates. He will truly be missed by many.
Blair will be sadly missed by "The Bride" of 55 years, Sharon (Timberman); his brother in law Gene Timberman and his wife Linda of PA; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and his four fur babies.
Private graveside services will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
Arrangements are under the direction of Christy Funeral Home, Millville.
