Always a respectful gentleman and astute professional, I enjoyed working with Earl. He always took the time to guide and teach when I floated to his unit. No matter how busy he was, if I needed a helping hand with a patient I could count on him to assist. He was a very stoic and serious man with a sharp sense of humor. Prayers for his wife Holly and all his loved ones.

I am saddened to hear of Earl's passing. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to Holly and their families. May God be with you during this difficult time.
