Earl was a man of the outdoors.  He had a lifelong love of boating and spent many happy years at Baltimore Yacht Club.  With retirement, Earl and Carol traveled extensively and enjoyed their cabin in western Maryland.  Earl skied in the winter and sailed in the summer.  Fall was dedicated to football and his beloved Ravens.  His other interests included jazz, woodworking and investing.  In later years, Earl kayaked with friends in Southern Maryland, holding court on a summer afternoon while discussing everything under the sun.  Most of all Earl enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.  He will be reunited with the love of his life, Carol.
