Earl is gone but not forgotten. Folks that knew him will remember him whether they want to or not. Earl was, at different times in his life, a bouncer, an artist, a contract engineer, a gambler, a cook, an importer of Latin American herbs, a comic, a husband, a father, a serial womanizer and one of the best friends a person could have. He lived life as hard as he could and tried to help people who were worse off than himself.
