I realize this tribute has come in many years late! However, I was just updating my timeline on Facebook and I mentioned that I had worked for him during the summer of 1970, I spontaneously Googled his name and found his Obituary! My mother died about 6 weeks before Earl did on May 5, 2007. She was 91. He was a good, wonderful man and I thought of him many, many times and have always had great admiration and respect for him! Even now, after these many years after having met him, I am deeply grieving his passing! Even though he did not appear to be a "religious" person, I know one day I will see him again! He was a good man who strongly impacted my young life! I was 20 years old then! Now I am 63. To the the family, feel free to contact me! I live in Alberta now.
