Dear Connie and family,
It is with a heavy heart that we have all of you in our prayers today as you grieve the loss to you of such and find Christian gentleman. We know that you have confidence in his heavenly home but you will surely miss him. We have so many wonderful memories of him that include such things as holding joint yard sales (where we bought stuff from each other); watching a spectacular lunar eclipse together; dining together on the shore of Lake Winnebago at Pipe; seeing the joy in our daughters when they visited your cottage because they thought of both of you as grand parents; watching him tackle project after project around the cottage on Pigeon Lake; appreciating his help of hammering down new plywood into the twilight hours by flash flight when we remodeled our home; hearing our daughters joyfully shout “the Iverson's are here!� when you arrived at the lake each spring; and being humbled when Earl beat me in golf at Autumn Ridge because he never hit the ball in the woods even once. Earl was a real encourager to me about ministry and his faith was so sincere. Though the miles between us may be many we will hold you fondly in our hearts.

Earl Iverson was a mentor to me as I became a Y branch exec. in Lincoln NE.
I studied his operation several times as I had questions about YMCA work.

Earl was a man who lived his faith . He contributed mightally to the mission of the YMCA. When Guest wrote "I would rather see a sermon than hear one any day!" He had folks like Earl in mind.
