Marge, Denny, Jerry and family: I am sad to read of the passing of Earl. I think the poker club in Heaven needed a replacement player. I know Vic, Ed and Harold will have a chair ready for him. What wonderful memories I have from choir practice to helping my parents with dinner parties that he attended. I remember Earl as one of the best dressed members of MOLC (after my father :-p). I know his mind is clear and his heart is filled with love for those he has left behind. Hugs to you all. Sue Brockopp10/04/2012 3:04 PM
