Earl worked at Northwest Plumbing and Heating for 42 years, retiring in 1998. He was known in the trade as “Weenie”. He was a UA instructor for many years at the Plumbers and Pipe Fitters Local Union #387 and enjoyed teaching. His favorite hobbies were playing pool with his friends, golfing, working in his yard and traveling to visit his sister, children and grandchildren. He loved to play pranks on his family and friends and tell a good joke. Earl was his children and grandchildren’s biggest fan. Ask any one of them to tell you which child or grandchild was his favorite and they would all reply “Me”.
