Dianne, My heart aches for your loss. Earl was a true "southern gentleman" who always wore a smile. The first time we met, I instantly felt like he was an old friend. I'll miss his stories, his charm and most of all the endearing ways he showed his love for you. What a wonderful journey he had through this life and what a wonderful Angel he'll be serving our Lord. My deepest sympathy and all my love.

I knew Earl when he worked in inventory, back in the 1980's at NSC. He was such a nice man and one who took his job serious. He will always remain a good friend and extremly missed.
