    My sympathy to Earl's family. I worked under Earl at Kepco, a division of Equitable and learned a lot about a new field to me. I know I drove him crazy with y questions. As for a funny memory - I took his yellow magic markers because when copying, the words so highlighted came out black. And Ashlee, you were his pride and joy! May God Bless You knowing your Dad is now with God! Rosalind (Roz) Teets

    Our thoughts go out to Earl's family at this time of loss. He lived on the same hall as us at Liberty Pointe and was always cheerful even when his health began to fail. We were impressed at how thrilled he was to become a grandfather. He will be greatly missed. Lynne and Jim Heltman

    You were the most generous, kindest soul. Pure class & chivalry. I feel blessed to have known you and had you as my closest & dearest friend for the years that I did. We got each other through so much and made sunshine out of cloudy days. Ashlee was your pride and joy. There wasn't a time we spent together that you didn't mention how proud you were of her & her accomplishments. You loved her so much. Although you weren't a kid person in general, you certainly were enjoying your new title of Pappy. You were having fun shopping for little girls clothes when we would have lunch. You had patience with my grandson Dax and drove us to Mingo Park for the day or to the playground. You also loved Bella. Seeing a movie will never be quite the same without you. Rest now, you are at peace, pain free. I Love You Jodi

    Thoughts and prayers are with the Beckett family. I worked a number of years with Earl at Equitable Gas and developed a friendship that continues to this day. He was a good friend who will be missed by many. We shared lots of laughs and while I'm sad that he's passed, we both believe in a higher power and the grace of our Lord. RIP Earl 🙏🙏

    Condolences to the family of a wonderful person that I called "Duke of Earl" (an old song from our age group). Earl often talked of his amazing daughter & family. Pat Kardash(Liberty Point Apptmt.)
