Dear Earl,
You welcomed me into your family and made me feel like I was a part of it from the earliest days. I will miss sharing a glass of wine, and maybe a cigar, and definitely some laughs. I will miss your generosity. I will miss your stories. In fact, one of my few regrets is not recording some of your amazing stories to share in the future. I still have the memories, though. I’ll just end this with one last…
Cheers, Earl. 🥂
Dear Dad, I will always remember the day that you were carrying me on your shoulders in the Feather River and slipped down into a hole. You didn't panic, but continued walking forward, submerged under the rushing waters, until you came back up on the other side. Not once did you ever let go of me or lose your grip. Thank you for always being there to hold onto me when I needed your support. And thank you for giving me the strength to let go when you knew it was your time to depart. You and mom really were the best parents ever.
