Dear Merry
So sorry to hear the passing of Sonny. Judy and I send our condolences. Sonny [Earl] and I were old friends and grew up together in Glenshaw Pa. We spent a lot of time together as kids just having fun and he was always upbeat and easy to be with. I am so glad I got to see you both a few years ago and our prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

To Merry and Family,
I am so sadden to hear of Earl’s passing. He was and still is a very dear friend, and my last golf partner. I will always cherish the friendship we had, to you both, and I will always remember visiting you both, along with my sister, when you lived in The Villages, Fl. Earl was a sincere friend, for sure. And I learned a lot from him that has still have a reflect in my life today. To you and the family…I know God will always be with you. To Earl, my dear friend, you’re in Heaven now and someday, we’ll meet again.
