My life would not be the same without Earl. As a Junior at the U of A, I went to Wettstein Advertising and asked Earl about an internship. He asked me what I wanted to do and I told him I wanted to be the creative director. He let out a big laugh and told me not many people would be bold enough to walk in and ask for his job. That said, he created and internship just for me and as they say the rest is history.
From Wettstein/Bolchalk I found a spring board for opportunity and Earl was always there to help me. He was one of the most honest people I have ever met in my life and I am forever in is debt. He surrounded himself with bright and talented people and gave them the opportunity to succeed.
Thank you Earl for all you did. I wish I could have told you this while you were still here.

I worked for Earl back in 1973-74. He was a wonderful, caring man who made every employee feel like an integral part of the Wettstein team. I was devastated to learn of his passing and extend my heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Earl was fun to work with, and he made me laugh to much to get much work done. He was a once in a lifetime good friend. Earl will always be missed. Sorry for you loss, Sherie and the girls.

Regrets to Sherie and the family. I knew Earl because of his advocacy for the right to die with dignity--he left quite a legacy for all of us who care about that.
