Passed away peacefully at age 92, after a brief illness on August 1, 2018. Born in Stouffville, Ontario, Earl was predeceased by three brothers, Bill (Aline), Jack (May) and Mike (Betty).
Earl proudly served his country during WWII first briefly with the Merchant Navy and then enlisting with the Royal Canadian Navy. The end of the war found Earl serving aboard the minesweeper, Gaspe in Halifax harbour and it was in Dartmouth that he met his wife of 66 years, Shirley (deceased).
Earl was also predeceased by son Michael, and leaves behind sons, Jim (Gail) and Peter (Carolyn) of Dartmouth, and daughter, Elizabeth of Ottawa. Earl was very proud of his four grandchildren, Morgan, Joseph, Anna and Livia.
Earl was a machinist for 64 years and was owner-operator of Earl A. Brown Machine Shop and the latter half of his career found his son, Peter following in his footsteps and working alongside him and eventually taking over the business.
Earl was the treasurer for, and member of, the Trecothic Creek and Windsor Railway club for many years. Earl made many great friends at the club and he enjoyed greeting visitors as they arrived from his post at “Earl’s Court”.
Earl spent his final years at Shannex Parkland in Dartmouth where he knew everyone by name and always had a joke or easy smile for anyone he met. He was independent till the very end, always backing his car into his parking space. Earl will be sorely missed.
A celebration of life will be held for Earl at A. L. Mattatall Funeral Home, Saturday, August 11th from 1-4pm.
