Condolence: I worked with Earl at OCLC. He was a hard worker and enjoyed what he was doing. He always had a good joke for us. After retirement Earl and a number of us met for lunch a number of times and he was still the happy joke telling person w all loved.

Condolence: I am truly sorry for your father's passing. He certainly sounds like a wonderful father. I do not know your family but your father's name struck home to my heart. I had a great uncle Earl Kennedy who was married to Gladys who were from the Portsmouth Ohio and Kentucky area. I wondered if by any chance your family had any history in the area. If by any wild chance I wanted to reach out. Regardless, please accept my deepest sympathy upon your loss of this great man.

Condolence: I smiled (and even giggled) many times as I got to know Earl better through this loving, humor-filled, honest, heartfelt, beautifully-written obituary. Knowing what I know about Earl (especially after having read this), I am certain this is just the piece he would have wanted, written about him. He will most certainly live on in so many ways through the lives of those he touched. Kim, I look forward to hearing stories, memories and silliness shared with me, about your dad, in the days, months and years to come. Kennedy women, be kind, loving, patient and gentle with yourselves and always always, keep the laughter flowing.

Condolence From: Karen (Smith) Walker, Westerville, OH
