Earl was a delightful person to be around. He always had a story to share or a joke to spare, and he had a great testimony. He will be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to Mozelle and the family.
Earl was good folks as far as I know. He & Mozelle always were good company when they would visit the service department where I worked. Earl liked to throw a joke or two at me while they were waiting for their van or car. I’m very sorry to hear of Earl’s passing. I send my sympathy to Mozelle at this sad time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mozelle and the family during these difficult days!! Thankful we will see him again one day!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
