Earl knew what hard work was from a very early age. He grew up working on the family farm. Proudly served as a Marine. Had 5 beautiful children and numerous grandchildren. He was a wonderful cook. There wasn't a flavor of ice cream he didn't enjoy, or a German shepherd he didn't adore. He loved going to the casino. His greatest joy came from spending time with his family. He took his Parkinson's diagnosis head on. No matter what he kept a smile on his face and had a great sense of humor. He passed away on his 83rd birthday surrounded by his loving family.
