I would like to express my condolences to the family of Earl.
He was a great person and a good friend.
We worked together a few times when he was with Western Electric.
I worked for Bell South and in Asheville and knew him as a fine upstanding person.
I know he will truly be missed…..
Scott and Joan, I’m thinking about you both.
Scott,
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Joan,
I am so sorry to here about Earl.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Scott.
God bless,
Loretta
My fondest memories of growing up certainly include many days at the Calvin home. Playing ball, swimming, etc., then having Earl fire up the grill for burgers. Being there was like being in my second home. Scott and Joan, I am truly sorry for your loss and please know that both of you are in our prayers and thoughts. I love both of you.
