"I met Earl in the 70's at KI Sawyer AFB and became lifelong friends. Rosemary soon became a friend too along with many of the family members. What a remarkable couple they made and did so many good things for all of us that were blessed to know them. Rosemary will be missed just as Earl has, but they have left a great legacy and huge family to carry on. Lauri and I give our condolences to the family."
