Mr Williams, Was the way I would call him as a young boy from the neighborhood. I rember how we would start our day at the Williams home, waiting for the bus to school. Earl would somtime just be getting home from work at Boeing where he worked very long hours. I remember many times when Earl would fall asleep at the dinner table, as a child I thought this to be funny, as an adult working long hours, wish I could do the same. Earl was a perfectionist in every way, watching him clean empty shell casing for reloading, to the way he would study a piece of metal befor cutting it. Earl had a smile, a Look about him, his mind was going 1000 miles an hour, his mouth was going 10 MPH. He was a quit man but the knowledge on thing would amaze you. Mrs. Williams, (Mom) Earl will be missed. Vern, (Donna) He was a great Father. Bruce, no words can say what a great son you are. The way you took care of your Dad, to the thing you will do for your Mom.
Our lives have been blessed with knowing Earl. Love Jim, Gloria & Joshua Hyatt##imported-begin##James, Gloria & Joshua Hyatt##imported-end##

As a long time friend of the family I want to wish you the best in this trying time. This is never easy to go through this without family and friends. Bruce has been one of my grestest friends, just like a brother. I consider you all my second family.
Earl is at Peace now with God. He was a good father and husband and I will miss him as a friend. I always will have my memories of him. I'll never forget the time Bruce and I were working on his house and Earl wasn't satisfied with the wood that had been delivered to Bruce. He spun each 2x4 around and around and through out over two thirds of them for return and they were only for building a closet. Another memory was him telling us when we laid the roofing material down that we need to use the chalk string on each row we were putting down. I told Bruce there weren't enough days off or hours IN THE DAY to get the project done if we did it that way. I just laughed. He always had me wondering what he was thinking because Earl was so quiet most of the time. Each time I went over to visit Bruce at his parents house, sometimes Earl would be tired and be sleeping at the table with his neck strained downward at the table. How he did that and was able to get it straightened out again was beyond me. I know at that time he was working extremely long hours at Boeing back then and extremely tired. He had worked over 6 months in a row without a day off . That takes great resolve and strength to do. He had that kind of drive many don't have. One last memory I have is the time Bruce told me that his dad had gone to work back at Boeing in Seattle at the time and had gone out late at night to get into his car only to find it setting on blocks without wheels. I would have liked to hear his thoughts at the time, it would have been interesting to see him bleeping words out about who stole his property. He was such a perfectionist at Heart when it came to projects he was doing. I will miss him, but I always have my memories.
With love,

I remember a time when I gave Vern, Bruce and Earl the scare of their life. Doug and I decided to take the roadâ€™s right hand turn into the dirt next to EarlÃ‚â€™s house at 50 miles per hour in our old 1960 VW. What happened was to be expected. The car leaned and skidded off the road and into the dirt setting off a whirl wind of flying dirt and rocks into EarlÃ‚â€™s backyard where the three were relaxing and enjoying a warm summer day. The VW naturally spun out of control and landed in a field across from EarlÃ‚â€™s house. The car spun around and rolled over and over at least 4 times. Everyone came running over to see if we were all right. By the time Earl got to the car, Doug and I were crawling out, laughing our heads off. Earl said one day we were going to kill ourselves. Then he shook his head and Vern, Bruce and Earl helped us get the car back on its wheels. We were off and running again, but per EarlÃ‚â€™s advice only at Ã‚Â½ speed this time.
This is how I remember Earl. Always quiet, but always there when you needed him. He never reprimanded us as kids, but he sure did keep an eye on us. DonÃ‚â€™t know if he was concerned about us or just watching us out of the corner of his eye, so he could jump out of the way in the nick of time. He will always be remembered and missed.##imported-begin##Brian Geraci##imported-end##
