I'll miss you, Uncle Earl. I have fond memories of when my family met up with you and Anita in Colorado for some fly fishing when I was little. You were a pro and it was a lot of fun to watch. More recently I was happy when you and Anita made the trip to Omaha, NE and were able to chat for while. My wife, Molly, really enjoyed the time - especially being able to meet my mom's oldest brother and his wife. We know you're in a better place. God bless.

Although most of my memories are from childhood, boating, camping & fishing, I often reflect on those days. You are at peace now and you will be missed in all the lives to have touched. May God be with you and your loved ones now and forever!

Even though my big brother Earl was 15 yrs older than me, it sure didn't seem like it. Love my memories of watching you play fastpitch men's softball and appreciate all the time you spent giving me grounders to improve my game. When I married Greg 35 yrs ago and you walked me down the aisle because our father was in the hospital dying...you and Anita made sure to make my day special. I have so many Great memories and everytime we were together it was like we were never apart. R.I.P. can't wait to see you in the afterlife..Love you.
