Our condolences for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Earl at Luther Brookdale Toyota. He was an extremely hard working man who was willing to drop whatever he was doing to assist a technician, customer, or anyone else who needed it. I will miss our conversations and watching his face light up when he talked about his wife, Grandson, or pups. His shoes will never truly be filled. I, along with the rest of the Brookdale Toyota family, will miss him dearly. With my deepest condolences, Nikki Kleinart
In memory of our friend and neighbor.
Sandy, I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and prayers for comfort. Shelly
