Earl
was a wonderful grandfather who loved his grandchildren immensely
and always took time to have lots of fun with them. He took
such great pleasure in making them happy. In the 1982 photograph
above, Earl is seen riding his lawnmower tractor around with
his firstborn grandchild Frankie seated comfortably in a little
seat on a wagon that Earl had constructed and hooked up to the
lawnmower tractor in order to be able to chauffeur his 1st grandson
around the property. Frankie seems to be quite content with
that arrangement.
