I wasn't fortunate enough to meet Earl in person, but in my job at FedEx had frequent interactions with Earl via phone and email. He was always positive and great at his job, never left an email unanswered. You could always count on Earl. We will all miss his positive spirit and sense of humor. My condolences to his family & friends, you are in my thoughts & prayers during this difficult time.

My name is Steve Gregory. I knew Earl for the better part of 30+ years working with him on different IT projects for FedEx Air Operations. My heart is deeply saddened with the passing of Earl. He's a great man and always will be a great friend. A good Christian man with his heart in the right spot. Each time we saw each other out and about we just picked up the conversation like we had just seen each other the day before. This world loss a great man. Rest In Peace My Friend!
