I grew up next to Mr Earl And Mrs Joyce. I remember spending lots of time at their house. Sandra an I would ride her mini bike all day long. We would always have to gas up and he always had some. I remember helping him with all his projects. Mostly I was a get me or hold this for me. But it was so great. I loved Mr. Earl even though I grew up and got married I will always have great memories about Mr Earl and loved that he took so much time with me. 🙏🙏🙏🥰
I have so many wonderful memories with whom I called Mr Earl. I lived for the days he would say let's load up for the beach. We all would climb in the back of his truck and ride up to Rocky point and swim for hours. Same thing when him am Mrs Joyce wanted to go walking at West Point Dam. And who can forget his famous chili night. He was more like a father to me than my neighbor. I love you Mr Earl and will miss you dearly.. 🙏❤ Sharron
