Greg & Dana,So sorry to hear about your dad. I met your dad back in the early 80’s at the JC Airport. He use to frequent my office picking up his golfing buddy Dick Thrash. Always had a great story to tell and loved life. Always fond memories.
We were sorry to read about Earl’s passing in the paper. We have missed Earl and Rosie since they moved from next door. They were always so kind and considerate toward us. We have a family commitment on Sunday August 5 in Kansas City so we cannot attend the services. We wish you all the best and we know you are comforted knowing Earl is playing golf on God’s fairways!
He was an intelligent and interesting man. Glad he was my uncle.
I was saddened to learn of Earl’s passing. He was a year ahead of me in school and I have memories of good times in his company. We also had a big shared experience when we were in the same head-on car accident with JohnVaughn and our friend Cora Salmons who did not survive, I know he was proud of you all, his family.
Greg & Alyson, I was sorry to hear about Earl, and my prayers are with your family at this time.
Earl was a good man. We will all miss him. My sympathy to all the family.God Bless
