He loved crafts and creating works of art. He loved framing, working outdoors, and enjoying nature. He was an avid square dancer and enjoyed the friendships in several square dance clubs. He loved to help others and volunteered almost daily for 15 years at the Sandy Bishop's Storehouse. He loved his family and especially playing with the young children. He loved his Savior and enjoyed serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Earl passes into the next life to join his parents, sisters, Ruth Gordon and Joan Garfield, brothers-in-law, Justin Covington, Harold Daw and sister-in-law, Alexis Garfield.
