Met Earle at Lake Bystre when I was a commercial fisherman. He helped me get permission to fish the lake in his park and we became friends. Earle was always super nice and I'm glad I got to know him. My condolences to the family as he was a fine man and will be sorely missed. A donation has been made to Habitat for Humanity in his name 

Larry and Ruth Brincefield want to express our sincere sympathy to Earle's daughters; Vicky, Andi, and Debbie and the rest of the family. From meeting he and Betty for the first time at their 50th anniversary celebration; I am so glad we have been able to be friends with our "cousins" and enjoy their fellowship down through the years. We are saddened at your loss and pray that God will hold you all in the hollow of His hand and bring you comfort. I have a wonderful picture of him, and Aunt Ruby Venglarcik-Tinker at our home for lunch. Both of them are now having a reunion in heaven. God bless you all.

Earle and I met at a Chamber event at his apartment’s Grand opening.  I was taking pictures and stumbled over a parking lot bumper and fell hitting my elbow. Earle was the first one to my side to help me up and to make sure I was OK. We sat down in the lobby and started talking about my magazine Hernando Star and  Earle offered to introduce me to many local business folks. We soon became close friends and even took ballroom dance classes together, going to many of the dances in town. Earle was a great friend and always there when I needed him. He will always be very special to me. I will miss him. On his birthday last year he wanted to cook a roasted duck in the crockpot, and it was delicious.  I look forward to meeting his family.

So sorry for the loss of your Daddy was a pleasure to take care of him, a true patriot a man with tremendous quality of respectful and friendly person, He always told me everything I do has a reason, “you said you have the right to be wrong ”when I tried to look for the positive side to things and we disagreed on something. You will be with your wife Betty she will be happy to see you again

Vicky, Andy, Debby,  So sorry for the loss of your Daddy and my Uncle Earle.  He is safe in the arms of God, and so happy to be with Aunt Betty.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Sorry I will not be able to come to the service but I will be thinking and praying for you.  Love to all of you, cousin Brenda.

I loved my Dad. He was a true patriot. Taught us to love our country, be proud to an American, voice your right to vote and never forget our humble beginnings. He always said 'you have the right to be wrong' when someone voiced their opinion different from his. My mom always told us girls to  marry someone like your dad and I did. He's reunited with my mom now. He will forever be in my heart. 

Daddy was one of the strongest people I know.  He taught me to get back up when knocked down.  To learn from adversity and use that knowledge to make me stronger.  To try as hard as I could to achieve my goals.  He was proud to have served in the US Navy aboard the USS Howard W Gillford.  He was proud of his faith, my mother and his daughters.  Rest in Peace Daddy.  I will miss you.
