Earl always said that raising his kids was his greatest joy in life. Every summer you could find him taking not only his kids, but also many church kids, out hiking, canoeing, and to amusement parks. He would load up the car and head to Church Camp, where he would stay and work in the kitchen for the week. Earl also took joy in teaching his children to drive cars and motorcycles at a very early age. He passed on his love for adventure, love of nature, and love for God to his children and grandchildren.
