"My deepest sympathy goes out to this family. I did not know Earl personally but my husband (who passed in 96) and the entire Cossey family knew him very well. My husband, Bo and Earl went to school together and by what I’ve been told, Earl spent a lot of time at the Cossey home. I do know that my husband thought of Earl as one of his closest friends and spoke very highly of him. May his Rest In Peace.

Earl is one of a kind, I sure am going to miss him , but I know he is in heaven reunited with his true love Diane. Rest in peace Earl ! The man, the myth, the legend, forever in our hearts and memories.

"I am going to miss you and all of our talks when you worked at the dealership. You always reminded me so much of my own daddy, I liked that. Anyways, I know that you are now at peace and with your lovely wife.
