I was in the Air Force with Earl at Offutt AFB 1975. I have a wonderful group picture of other active duty cops.
Sarah and I would have never made it into our house like we did without Earl. He was tireless, day after day, painting walls, building shelves, installing lights, and so many other things. And what a resource he has been for me since, always ready to answer my questions on how to upkeep this place. There is no substitute for experience. I am grateful I was able to be a friend to my father in law during his last chapters on Earth. ~Greg
