He enjoyed traveling around the world and telling stories about all the strange food he would eat. He most recently traveled to Alaska with his wife of 36 years where he enjoyed the beauty of the wilderness. One of his favorite things to do with his family was to camp at Red River Gorge. Earl was passionate about his business and was respected in the machine-tool industry. He enjoyed golfing with close family and friends. His battle with cancer was stoic; he never complained and due to his strong will and support of his family he persevered for 13 years.
