He was born at Woodlands Landing, Ontario and spent his early years in Eastern Canada. The majority of his life was spent in Winnipeg Manitoba, where he connected with numerous friends and acquaintances who were drawn to his gregarious nature, his quirky sense of humour and his quick wit. Remembering him are his wife Ina, his son Richard, daughter-in-law Andrea and the joy of his life, granddaughter Jayme. The family is deeply grateful to Dr. "J" and the nurses of the palliative care unit, the doctors and nurses at Riverview, and the friends and neighbours of Magdalene Bay. In keeping with Earl's wishes, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. His final resting place will be in the Serenity Room at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home if friends wish to visit.

We started out as 'business' and never did we imagine that such a friendship would be built. You and Ina became our extended family. You always kept us on our toes, but you were always in our hearts. We still look for your 'bobble head' in the window and probably always will. The bay won't be the same without you. You are missed dearly. - Posted by: Michelle, David, Quin (friends/neighbors) on: Feb 16, 2013

Always thinking about you Richard, Andrea and Jayme - especially during this difficult time. I will always remember your dad, Richard, for his quick wit and his "off-the-wall" sense of humor. As well, he was the ultimate tour guide making each excursion interesting and fun. No doubt, he was one of a kind - truly able to keep everyone guessing as to what might happen next.......And, to my sister, Ina, I don't have to say anything, as we have an understanding that goes beyond words. - Posted by: Gay McKinnon (Sister-in-law) on: Feb 13, 2013
