Earl I’m going to miss you. Kmart was the best when you was there. No matter what you always could make me laugh. My heart goes out to mom and the rest of your family you will forever be in my heart.
Oh, Buddy. I will never, ever, EVER forget our crazy late night drives, and especially some of the stunts we did with cars. When you showed up at my house with a turkey stuck in your grille, I knew you had an eccentric sense of humor.
THANK YOU for introducing me to the game of pool, especially teaching me how to play 9-ball. And watching “The Hustler” with me, both the Jackie Gleason and Tom Cruise versions. You were an original.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rusert family.
Buddy soar on wings of eagles! Rest in peace.
Earl I miss you and our Kmart days! You always be remembers and loved. So shocked to hear about this news. Prayers to your family and friends. Fly high buddy!
