Earl and I were friends from elementary school through high school. Although I moved to Virginia in 1960 we kept in touch.
I always remember when he worked at the B & B super market on Florida Ave. After School and Track practice I would stop in to see him and was always greeted with a big smile. He loved the food business and was an energetic person.

So very sorry for.your loss. Earl was such a dear friend of Evan and I. They met in 1950 at the Business University of Tampa. Introduced us to Pat and Jay.Stark and we were friends for life! I miss all our get togethers every Thursday night at the Cracker Barrel. We had so much fun going to the mountains together. Ronnie and I were just talking about them since he met Lee at work. I made each of them a book about our traveling and friends. I would look for a different place for us to go....and away we would go. So much has happened these last two and a half years with Evan in a rehab center. We couldn't get together but my thoughts were always with them. One anniversary the four of them visited us at rehab with a cake and I think that was out last time together. I think it was 2014. I don't know if I can make the visitation but I will have all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Much Love Iris White and Fanily.
