I met Earl at a birthday party his daughter, and my friend, Amanda was throwing for one of her children. My youngest was in quite a large cast due to a broken leg so was not able to run and play with the rest of the kids..... so I just pushed her around on a Little Tyke trike to keep her amused. Earl came over and spent the entire party walking the floor of the party center with me and my daughter telling us both the greatest stories. My heart-felt sympathy goes out to Earl's entire family. I hope his memory lives on in all the great stories he loved to tell.
