Carolyn, Lauren, Earl, Brian and Fran, I am so sorry for your loss. I loved your dad very much. I remember when Carolyn and I first became friends my dad said to me, " is her dad Earl McNamara?" I said yes. He said, "Oh that's Earl the Pearl from the Fire Department" and he went on and on about what a character and a nice guy he was. I have many fond memories spending time with all of you and your dad playing practical jokes..... Ha ha ha. I have not seen you all in quite a while but you are always in my heart. I am praying for you and I am thinking of you all during this very difficult time. Love and Peace, Nancy

Dearest A.Franny, Carolyn, Earl, Lauren and Brian: My heart aches for your sadness, yet I can't help smiling at the thought of the "brothers" together with Amie & Gramps. Lots of shenanigans for sure! will forever remember his kind eyes, warm & "full" hugs. He used to throw me up in the air and catch me and your mother would say "Earl! you're scaring her" Just made me giggle more! He was a wonderful uncle and I loved him very much. Carl & I had our first taste of moonshine with him and my dad 🙂 This space is too small to express it all. Anyone who knew your dad is a better person because of it....I love you all so much. #familystrong Love to everyone. Patricia, Carl & family

Fran, it doesn't seem like a few short days since his passing but there is certainly real pain and sorrow. I know that it is also true that he remains with us in his eternal life and with his spiritual eyes will be watching us until the day we share his perfect joy of endless happiness. Our tears of mourning are tears of homesickness. Love and prayers, Dick and Doris.
