I was the mail carrier for Mr. Earl. He and his wife were always kind and talked to me often. I will truly miss seeing him out.
We are a close neighbor of Earl and his family. He was a very nice and friendly person. He always stayed busy with projects outside and in his shed that he seemed to enjoy a lot. Our condolences to his family. They will be in our thoughts and prayers. Jimmy and Pam Harris
