Earl Was a good Neighbor. Always looked out for our street. Loved to see him on special holidays in his full dress uniform. Most patriotic soldier I knew. Flags on everything including his old truck. He loved to plant his vegetable garden every year. He will be missed.

I fondly remember Earl, or "Handlebar" as we used to call him back in the old days. I remember helping Earl change truck tires back in Bldg 402 at the Aberdeen Test Center, APG in the old days. Earl was a true blue Veteran and great guy. He participated in countless Veteran ceremonies over the tears. God rest you Earl. Gary

Well I can say working with Earl was an experience and a pleasure. you never knew what to expect from Earl except for sour crout and hot dogs at lunch time, that was a given. I remember the day he did a recovery job, I had to laugh, he towed an item 7 miles back to the shop and was standing inside by the window smoking and said" who parked that damn close to me" and here it was the item he towed up he didn't relize he was towing the second one. Rest in peace Earl God knows you deserve it. Another great Vet.

Earl, Thanks for being my friend all these yars, and thanks for getting me involved in VFW and Legion. You are about as patriotic a true-blue American as anyone could be. Thanks for all the years of service you gave for our country. I am thankful, and you are blessed, to have a sister like Jackie to take care of you and look after things these last several months. May you rest in peace, Earl, and Jackie, God Bless you.
