Earl Grine Obituary

Essex - Earl Laurence Grine, born in Baltimore, Md. in 1940, passed away peacefully at his home on the afternoon of Aug. 31, 2025.

Raised in Essex, Earl graduated from Kenwood High School and went on to earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland. He dedicated 42 years of his career to Chicago Bridge and Iron, where he held various roles in estimating, bid proposals, project planning and management of construction - often working under tight deadlines. Earl specialized in the design and construction of large fuel storage tanks, enabling the safe storage of natural gas in regions with extreme heat. However, he was especially proud of his contributions to hyperbaric chambers and satellite technology.

His work took him across the United States, Japan and the Arabian Gulf region (Dubai, UAE), opening the door to travel and experiences around the world.

Earl was an avid reader, a connoisseur of fine wine (and loved sharing his knowledge about it), and cherished living near the water.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 27 years, Jo-Anne; his children, Tiffany and Larry; his stepchildren, Scotti and Leon; nine grandchildren; his sisters, Sally and Beth; and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at a future date, allowing the family time to grieve and honor Earl's life in a way that reflects his legacy.
