When my father, Claude Rawl, was in need of personal care, my sister, Carol Lee ("Snonnie") and Earl did not hesitate to do what was best for Dad by providing full-time care for him. I'm sure I speak for my brother Larry when I say that Earl was our "other brother" as he and our sister assumed the necessary responsibilities to make Dad's last years comfortable and happy. Earl had gained Claude's respect, which to anyone who really knew Claude must realize that was something special---as was Earl.
