Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • To my old friend Earl, it has been years since we've spoken and not attributed to hate your anger...Just time itself and busy hectic lives. I thought, many times, in the past few years to get ahold of you and say hi, but as both our lives continued, it seemed difficult to pick the phone up and see where we each were in our life... To Hear that you left us has left an incredible ache in my heart for not taking the time to call and say hi... You always were a great friend… Even when you weren't around. My thoughts and prayers to your family at this time. Sing on Earl - forever... - Posted by: Lara Bonikowsky-McLeod (Old friend) on: Mar 21, 2014

  • Together with Christ Jesus. Leading the way for others to follow when it's our time. Sending out prayers for your family Earl, remember and talk about the good times together. Be there for each other. Memories of Rock Lake were the fun days! - Posted by: Rod and Jeanette Gyurek (Friend) on: Mar 08, 2014

  • Earl was a dedicated community member of St. Adolphe when his family lived there. He gave his time generously as part of the Community Club board. His heart was always in the right place and was friendly and respectful to all. Our kids played hockey together when they were younger and Earl was an avid fan of everyone's kids, not just his own. My thoughts go out to Sharon and his children. He was quite a character. - Posted by: Mikki Grouette (friend) on: Mar 05, 2014

  • You will always be remembered as a man with a permanent smile on your face, an infectious laugh beyond anything that can be described, and as someone who could change the entire energy of the room with your buoyant spirit, even in your final days. Earl, I was so proud to have you as my big brother! You protected me, cheered for me, and always made me feel so precious. I know you were greeted lovingly in the sky-that's where I will look for you. All my love. "Little May" xo - Posted by: Angela May (Sister) on: Mar 04, 2014
