So sorry to hear of Earl's passing. He was a great guy who was always willing to help out and shared the harvest of his garden year after year. Earl will be greatly missed. His wife Ginnie was great at baking Christmas cookies and delivering to all her neighbors.
Thanks for being great neighbors to my Dad and brother/wife for many years.
My sympathies to the family.
