Earl started out his working life in the Pitt in Donkin where he remained for many years until his health forced him to find work elsewhere. He was a simple man, who enjoyed the simple things in life. Time spent with family and puttering around the house.

Earl will be laid to rest beside his wife in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Big Bras d’Or with a private family gathering.
