For my Uncle, I have so many memories of the time we spent together, and even though you’re no longer here, I’ll cherish them forever. I miss your laughter so much and the mischief in your smile. When I feel the sadness welling up I’ll remember it a while. For though you are no longer here , you’ll never be truly gone. So long as I have these memories Your spirit will carry on. So until I see your smile again I’ll hold you in my heart and mind. A shining example, my uncle of the best of humankind. ??

Joe, David & Mary & family,
I am so sorry to hear about Earl. We were fortunate to get to visit with him on Thanksgiving and he gave me one of his homemade knives. I had to buy it from him, since my Daddy always said that you can't give a knife as a gift, so he got a nickel from me. He was great to my mom and was always going out of his way to help her when she needed something. That tells you who he truly was. I will miss him and know that you guys will as well. I hate that I will be unable to attend his services because I would have liked to have been there. I will be praying for you guys. Love, Debbie
