Pausing for a Moment

Today I'm pausing to honor Earl who passed away last night.
He was a dear person, I'm sure to all who knew him.
I wonder if he ever said a harsh word to anyone.
He seemed to me to be a genuinely loving & gentle spirit.

I know many will miss him.

So sweet, CN. Thank you. As Dad says, he would give you the shirt off his back.

Your thoughts are so in tune with what I've been thinking today. Earl was so kind, so earnest. He listened intently, he had a wonderful openness and curiosity. Asked and took so little.

When I think of the generation older than me, I put people into one of 2 categories: those I found "scary" and those I didn't. Most were in the scary category - Earl was one of the few "grownups" I never found scary.

What a handsome guy, I always loved his beautiful eyes!

Good bye, Earl. I miss you. You were a good uncle and a good brother to my dad.
