Rex, Bruce,and Yvette: We are so sorry to learn of your loss of a wonderful person. I can remember back, while working at the VA, when we car pooled together and Earl would alsways be the life of the ride. He was always a great start to a long workday. May he rest in peace. We both are thinking of you all in this deep time of sorrow, and ask God to provide your family with his understanding and comfort.
