Dearest Hempy Family, My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I hold special memories visiting the home on 15th Avenue with Earl trying to keep Deb in line (raise her). It wasn't an easy job for him but he seemed to love it and he did a pretty good job! Earl was a special guy and I know how much he will be missed by you all. May your memories sustain you during your time of grief. Sorry I couldn't be there to give you all a big hug. Steph (O'Connell) Corbey

Debbie/Bug and Hempy family, sorry I couldn't be there with you today. I wanted to wish you my sincere condolences. I enjoyed talking to "Earl" whenever we got together for some holiday or celebration. I think the last time was at Tom Hollen's graduation. Bonnie said Deb made a very nice eulogy. We will miss him. All your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Jan and I are sorry for your loss. My Mom and Dad (Louise and Bill Cameron) considered you both among their best friends. We had them interred at Fort Snelling to be as close to "Home" as possible, and of course close to the Airport where Bill and Hempy spent so many years. You and yours have our most sincere sympathy.
