So sorry about Earl passing. It was so great that the 4 guys got to play cards together one last time. Take care. Love, Mitch and Sue Kittel
You sometimes made me angry when you with your long
arms held me offf when I was trying to slug you when we
were growing up. But you always protected me from the
bullies. Now, great brother, you are in the loving hands
of the real GREAT PROTECTOR!! No more struggles.
So sorry about uncle Earl’s passing. I had not seen him since he and his family came to visit us in Pensacola in the 70’s. I thought the rv they came in was so cool. We only traveled in our station wagon .

So sorry about Earls passing he was a wonderful man. You will be missed. We had slot of good times over the years on the north side. Please accept our condiinces.
To Diana and family, I have many fond memories of Earl He had the loudest whistle we knew when he whistled. It was time to come home going up next to the Boor family was great times.
I am very sorry for your loss. He lived a long, good, kind life. May God fill your thoughts with fond memories. May your tears turn to smiles as you remember the good times.
Earl was a great guy, many thoughts and prayers to all,
As another 3rd Street Northsider, I was well aware of Earl’s whistle…it was time for his kids to come home. The Boor children brought new adventures to the neighborhood. My sincere sympathy to all of his family.
I had the pleasure of working with Earl at 3M. At one point he was my supervisor. I enjoyed his sense of humor! My condolences as I know he will be greatly missed even though he is in good hands.
