He loved the family vacations at Lakes Crystal and Lida, St Louis Cardinals, playing cribbage, pinochle and taking his grandchildren to Grants Farm.

Earl and Ruby never missed their granddaughters Cailey’s and Lexi’s volleyball and soccer games from grade school through high school. They were also their biggest supporters through the girls’ gymnastics and dance recitals, along with all the other sports they played throughout the years. He was well liked by everyone and brought joy to all he met. A devoted husband, father and grandpa now he is with his dearly beloved Ruby on a lake fishing and just enjoying one another. We love you and miss you both.
