His father accepted a job with Bell Helicopter and the family moved from Buffalo to the Mojave Desert near the present Edwards AFB when he was a young boy. He attended junior and senior high schools and college in the area. This location continued to increase his love of the aviation industry.

He served on the Berkeley County Aeronautics Commission from 1986 to the time of his death and was Chairman for many years. His main focus was to improve the airport to accommodate more business aircraft and he worked tirelessly to meet that objective.
He started and served as a member of the Experimental Aeronautics Association (EAA), Chapter 477.
Earl also was an advocate for the special needs population that includes his son, Earl, trying to improve their life style and expose them to as many real life experiences as possible.
The family requests that you make a memorial to the Special Olympics, 1276 Assembly Street, Columbia, SC 29201 or to an organization of your choice.
