Farming was Earl’s life. He raised hogs and grain farmed, mainly corn and soybean. He started farming with his father while in school and purchased the farm from his father after he and Pat were married.
Earl was thrifty. He will long be remembered for the “$5” checks on birthdays. They were sent to each child, spouse, grandchild with a thoughtful card. The annual event won’t be the same without him. Earl was a quiet person but when wanted to know something, he said “So I have a question?”.
