On Earl's 83rd trip around the sun, he gained his angel wings. He was a loyal, loving and hard working family man. He made the best pancakes, was always down to go for an ice cream or to the casino. He adored any, and every German Shepard he met. He always made friends everywhere he went. His favorite song was "My way" by Frank Sinatra. He really did it his way. He came from very humble beginnings and proudly served as a Marine. He took his Parkinson's diagnosis by the horns and fought back with everything he had. He will always be remembered for his humor, kindness, and strength. I will forever be grateful that I was one of the lucky ones that got to call him grandpa.
