Earl was a US Navy veteran of the Vietnam era who served on the USS Kitty Hawk CVA 63. He was a member of the American Legion Post 81 in Liberty where he enjoyed cooking for the members on meeting nights. His career involved retail, auto mechanics, and then retired from Michael Thomas Furniture. He had a good time golfing with all of his buddies. A few of his other favorites included gardening, reading, traveling and antiquing. You could always get him fired up over the latest political topics where he was sure to share his opinion. He will be remembered fondly for his sense of humor, always having a joke and being an incredible entertainer.
