Earl was a native of New Orleans and a lifelong resident of the New Orleans area. He was valedictorian of his high school class, graduate of LSU School of Electrical Engineering, and was one of the founders, and former owners of the engineering firm Electronic Design. His years of hard work and diligence were rewarded with a successful business though too few years of a restful retirement. Deceased at the age of 68, his integrity and wisdom will be missed by his family and friends but the love remains.
The private funeral will be directed by Jacob Schoen & Schoen Funeral Home with burial at Old Bogue Falaya Cemetery in Martinsville, St. Tammany Parish.
