Dear Debby and Judy, I was thinking of your dad Debby, and so sorry to see that he has passed. He was such a jokester, and when I first met him, as high schooler, he had me checking the rocks in your yard for the weather !!! He and Earl laughed so hard !! Honestly, I vowed to never fall for his joking again, but I probably would have !!! I remember he, and our step father Earl, very fondly. Best of blessings to you and your family, and so sorry too that this is so late. Please let me know if there was a charity or other that he liked, and we would love to make a memorial donation in his memory. Love, Rhonda, oldest step daughter with your Uncle Earl. email: rhondapalmquist@gmail.com

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
