Earl was a devoted husband and caring daddy, granddaddy and friend. He found great joy in the simplest of things, but his greatest joy was family. With a kind heart and generous spirit, Earl would give the shirt off his back to those who needed it. When his health permitted, he was always ready to lend a helping hand to family, neighbors and friends. Earl enjoyed woodworking which included building birdhouses and he loved going to the mountains. He was a sharp and knowledgeable man who loved people and was loved in return. Earl will surely be missed but cherished memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
