Earl proudly served in the U.S. Army during WWII.  He was married to Irene for 60 wonderful years, and was a very devoted family man. He enjoyed bowling, traveling, camping, and going to the casino. He loved to play bingo and the dice game Left, Right, and Center. Earl was a member of the American Legion. He was quite a jokester, and could usually be found telling his favorite jokes to make us laugh.  Earl was dearly loved and will be missed by all who knew him.
