We hired Earl 18 years ago and never looked back. We will have very fond memories for a long, long time for his sense of humor, his positive attitude and the way he looked after his equipment. Whenever he left the office he left people smiling. Take care and drive safely Earl!!!!

A great friend, mentor and fellow truck driver. He always had a joke or story to make you laugh. My teenage sons still talk about Earl showing up as Santa Christmas Eve when they were younger. Earl had a big heart and will truly be missed. I hope Marsha and the family find the strength to recover from their loss

I'm so sorry to hear of you father's passing, Stacy and family. I have felt so inadequate saying all I can do is pray...but I recently came to realize that praying isn't "all I can do", but it's the best I can do. Please know that I am praying for your entire family during this difficult time. Much love to you and yours'.

Words just are not there. My heart hurts and is heavy. Earl was a great brotherinlaw, kinda ruff around the edges, but a marshmallow inside, all the kids knew when he told you to do something you better do it or he would come after you. He always had something funny to say and right along with words of wisdom. Christmas was always fun with him he loved seeing the kids open the gifts... And if you were naughty you would get sticks and onions. But you knew he loved you, he never came right out and said it but you just knew. And the twinkle in his eye will be a memory of mine for ever... Miss you already. My prayer to the family Love you guys. I'm thankful to know we have the promise of heaven and will see that goofy guy again.. Meet you at the cross Earl*!.

You all are in our thoughts and prayers, Earl was a very special man and will be missed. Always remember the jokes he would say and would love to tease whenever we would see him. I remember when he stopped smoking and started sucking on suckers his response was well now I will have to watch my figure. Will miss him very much. He will be watch over all of you cause heaven got another angel.
