Best Papa a person could have. Most generous, hard working and loving man I have known. I will always remember waiting in the shop watching for you to drive up the road as you would come back from a trip. Going to New York in that Peterbuilt will always be one of the fondest memories of my childhood, although you didn't like the Coke I spilled all over the side on way home just after you washed it. I love you PA / Dolphin Denny!!Best Trucker, Father, Papa and person ever! You finally Heaven Bound N Down. JB

I am so sorry about the passing of Mr. Earles. I am a volunteer at Heritage Hall and would visit with them almost every day. What a nice man and he was so good to Betty everyday. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Lois Wade
