    Steve, Kevin & family, I’m sorry to hear about Howard Earl. I always enjoyed working with him. He helped break me in when I was learning to rolltend. Telling me exactly what he expected me to do. Scared me to death at first until I discovered what a big teddy bear he was. I liked & respected him very much. Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time. We hope your warm memories and the love and prayers of your family and friends will be of comfort to you in the days ahead. JoeHarlan Stone
