To the Harried familiy, our thoughts are with you. Earl was our neighbor for many years and gave us a warm welcome to the neighborhood. He always had time to talk, check in with what was happening with our kids, and reminisce.
Earl was a great guy!

My sincere condolences to the family of Earl A. Harried – It was never the Creator’s purpose for mankind to suffer (Romans 5:12). May God give you peace through his promise to comfort us (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). I hope that you are consoled by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
