He is survived by his sister, Opal Marie Carson of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a brother, Clifford and his wife Betty of Roseville, AR. He had many stories about being a Military Policeman at Fort Chaffee guarding German prisoners. After the military he had many different jobs; traveling with the pipeline, than came home to be the Bricklaying Instructor at Arkansas Valley Vo-Tech. After teaching others the art of Bricklaying he spent several years laying Brick himself. His greatest love in life was the simple life on the mountain caring for his cows and raising fruit and vegetables he shared with one and all. He loved grafting trees for a new variety to see the results. If you wanted to know about an apple, just ask Earl. In 1996 Earl adopted the Aday family, Ray, Randy, and Ola, and helped raise the six grandchildren, Averi, Mandi, Aly, Addison, Ray, and Hunter. Lots of fun was had over a card game.
