Earl was a tremendous athlete and loved all sports. Golf was one of his greatest passions, and he would travel anywhere to play a round. Earl was extremely proud of the four holes-in-one he achieved during his golfing years. He also enjoyed playing softball in a senior league well into his 70s. Earl was also a great bowler and active in leagues for several years. After a round of golf or a softball game, you could usually find Earl working out at the Reno Elks Club. He was also a very active member of Reno Elks Lodge #597. Earl always found time to coach youth baseball and attend every athletic event his children or grandchildren participated in. He loved being at the ballpark supporting his family. Earl also looked forward to the family’s annual summer vacations boating and golfing at Lake Almanor, California. He passed away during his sleep at his Reno home in the company of his family on April 7, 2018, becoming an anatomical donor to the University of Nevada Medical School Program and helping promote medical research and the education of doctor-bound students.
