Death notice for the town of: Kemptville, Province: Ontario
My husband and I met Earl through our neighbour Vinny. He was always very friendly with us. Earl had a very nice personality and was always willing to lend a hand. He was like a ray of sunshine. We were very fortunate to have met him and we will miss him.
May God bless his soul. May he rest peacefully in heaven.
