Uncle Earl, I remember as a child spending time with Valerie any your family and listening to you play the piano, and then again at Brant Lake. My sincere condolences are with Aunt Pat and my cousins at this time. I am sure you are embraced by my parents, and will forever be in my memories. Fly high with the Angel’s.
