Earl honorably served his nation in the Army, a commitment that reflected a steady sense of duty and deep respect for service. He later owned Motor Parts of Michigan with his wife, Kathleen Moede, and for many years they built the business into a trusted military supplier through perseverance, reliability, and unwavering dedication.
Known as a very hard worker, Earl approached life with determination and purpose, running his business seven days a week. Beyond his work, he was a member of the NRA and found quiet enjoyment in stamp collecting—an interest that spoke to his patience, care, and appreciation for history and detail.
Earl is survived by his wife, Kathleen Moede; his brother-in-law, Robert (Terry) McKenzie; and his nieces, Jessica Casbar and Andrea Vyse.
