Earl was employed for 44 years at Lowden's in Fairfield, while at the same time working part-time in farming. His greatest love was his family, and he excelled at sharing his love with them. Earl was very compassionate, and showed great concern for others, even at the expense of himself. Prior to Shirley's death, the couple wintered in Texas, and travelled extensively.
