I have missed seeing him out doing as much yardwork as his health would allow. Your were all very blessed to have such a good man as a part of your lives. Rick and Evelyn Pontz

I worked with Earl for many years at Conestoga Heating & Plumbing Supply. I respected his integrity and professionalism and learned much from him. He certainly was a fine, out-going individual. My prayers are for his eternal rest and for peace for his wife and family. Earl cannot be with us any more, but fond memories of him will remain. Marty White

My condolence to you and your family. I am the sister of Leonard Benneman of Leola. I have a picture of my brother and Earl with my little brother. Leonard and Earl are both in their Navy Uniforms of WWII. That was YEARS ago. I now live in Jupiter, Florida. When that picture was taken we lived in Blue Ball.
