Fremont, NE Saturday, March 14, 2020 Phyliss and family.Deepest sympathy to all of you as you mourn the loss of one you loved so dearly. To me, Earl was a Saint. He was so kind and so loving and so compassionate and such a devoted Grandfather to Andrew. I always thought he was such a sweetheart. May all of you find comfort in knowing he as now at rest with his Savior and you will all see him again in heaven.

Fremont, NE Thursday, March 12, 2020 I have so many fond memories of Earl at Fremont Alliance Church. He truly was both a godly and a loving man - the kind of person you hope you become when you reach your 60's and 70's. While we know Earl is with Christ now, we mourn that he's no longer present with us. Our prayers for Phyllis and the family as they miss having Earl around.Georgia Eckert
