Dad was a dedicated, hardworking Master Electrician for over 47 years. He was a proud member of the IBEW Local 105 for more than 65 years.

Earl loved the outdoors, eventually building a cottage on Kawagama Lake where he enjoyed the lakeside view, fresh air and wildlife. He loved family get togethers, hockey, attending his grandchildren's sports, sharing stories, sunshine and celebrating his birthday on St. Patrick's Day. Dad loved music and dancing, he was always the first and last one on the dance floor.

His Legacy of Kindness, Love and Strength will remain with us forever.

The family wish to thank the caring staff, especially the Palliative Care Team of St. Joseph's Hospital.

In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will take place on Sunday, April 26, 2026 from 1:00-5:00 p.m. at Ye Olde Squire, 550 Fennell Avenue East, Hamilton.
