Many wonderful memories of us all on bowling trips. Prayers for the family as I remember the class and compassion demonstrated by Earl.

I have so many fond memories of Earl from bowling and golf. As a bowler, he was always joyful and cheerful, having fun with a huge smile on his face. Played many rounds of golf with him, and if he taught me anything, it was to just enjoy the game. We have surely missed Mr Earl at the lanes, and especially myself on the golf course. You might be gone from this earth, but your memories will last forever!

We have known Earl for many years. He was always friendly and smiling. Condolences to his family.

Becky,
I was saddened to read of your Dad's death. I am thinking of you and yours.
Much love,
Kate Scroggins Davis
Earl was my tennis coach for several years at the Tuscaloosa Racquet Club. He was a great player, coach, and person! I chose tennis as a profession to be like him! God bless him and his family and friends 🙏🙏❤️
