I'm the one of Earl many nieces Carol unfortunately I couldn't be there today to give all warm hugs I have some amazing memories of Earl talking about books and cars he was a Holden lover and me a Ford so lots banter over the years . Thank you every one for the kind and respectful words . Rest in Love Uncle Earl

To all of Earl’s family and friends please accept my condolences on his passing. I first met Earl on my first visit to New Zealand around 1971. I never saw him wear a short sleeved shirt - always long sleeved with the sleeves rolled up. Earl came to visit John and I in Indonesia and enjoyed his time there. Rest in peace, Earl.

Thank you for the stories, laughter and memories Uncle Earl. It would have been a blast growing up in the 50’s and 60’s in a home filled with so many brothers. I’m certain those moments will be solidified in the family’s memories forever. Watching tomorrow from Brisbane Australia with dad (Dennis).
