earl, what a great friend and wrestling teamate while in our youth,so sorry we never kept in touch over the last 50yrs. RIP,your friend always, tim willibey.
Now you've graduated on up! May you find more joy in doing your Father's work on the other side of the veil! It's a wonderful law of eternal progression! Thank you for sharing your life with us at YHS!
It has taken me a while to get to a point of reflecting my thoughts on the loss of Maureen, Dennis, and Earl, all of whom I knew quit well.
Like Maureen and Dennis, I had known Earl for as long as I can remember. Earl was competitor and tough, as you had to be on Bert Waterman's wrestling teams. I had not seen him for quite a long time, but he continued to cross my mind, especially when I cam back to Ypsi and played "catch-up" with all of our old friends and classmates. We all have to take our hats off to those who persevere to be a part of something special and endure without getting the praise many others receive. Such was the case with Earl and wrestling, but those who were his teammates knew what a positive influence he was and respected the contributions he made to make all of them better. I tip my hat to Earl for being someone special.

Earl was a very nice man. I remember my husband and me sitting with him at our 30th class reunion and catching up with his life. He is truly missed.
