Barb and Family, Although we had known Earl for a short time, he made a lasting impression on us. He always had a friendly smile and a mans handshake, as he called it as we passed each other in the hallways. We let him know how lucky he was to have .an .amazing amount of hair at his age. We will miss Earl and will keep you in our prayers.

I have only great memories of Uncle Earl. He seemed to me to have such a generous, gentle and steady disposition. My favorite more recent memory is how our Steve talks of his special time with your parents when he stopped to visit in Saginaw as he was making a trip to Toronto. He was included in the carving group downstairs and left with carving tools and his first carving project (there have been a number of them since). He loved his time with your parents and it brings me to tears when I consider how significant that time was for Steve. Uncle Earl became his #1 great uncle.

I remember taking carving classes from Earl in his basement. He's was so kind and helpful to me always. He made the knives that we carved with and was such and amazing man and teacher. He made carving a stress free zone as a beginner. Blessings to your family during there time of great loss. Rick and Tammy Ross
