My Uncle Earl was a great man... An honorable, loving man, with a dear, beautiful and loving family. I always thought of him as a hero, and when I was a kid I wanted to be like him when I grew up. Much love and prayers to my Aunt Phyllis, Philip, Melanie, Steve, Blake, Earl Jr., Michelle, Michael, Connor, Madelyn, and Aunt Alice and my Mom. You are all in my heart and prayers.
