I am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteFor now, your memories will bring tears; but in time you'll find comfort and smiles through those memories.
Although it may not seem like it today, the day will come when you'll think of him and you'll smile first - before any tears well in your eyes. That is the beginning of healing.
God bless you and your family each day, in particular during this difficult time.

Earle Kazmark was such a big guy to a little girl. He always had a smile and a funny remark to put you at ease. Thanks for letting us hang out with your family, and all the memories we created as a result.

Earle we had two business deals, I would have to say you got the best of me both times, but enjoyed the ride. If you can send me a tip it would be much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteReally I will miss you and look foward to doing business in another place.

Hi,I'm sure you don't even know who I am. I have known Earle most of my life. Earle lived with my mom and dad for some time. that would be Al and Evelyn Summers. I will always remember Earle with a smile as you will also. Time is all that helps heal the hurt. Friend Sharon Summers Horey
ReplyDeleteWe didn't learn of Earl's passing until too late to send condolences until now. We knew him and Barb only too shortly. He is now where he wanted to be...with Barb. Those call letters for KAZZ will probably be retired someday, but they will always be theirs.

Met Earle one day he was passing through Ellensburg back in the '80's and he stopped by my station at the time, KQBE FM. We had a nice conversation. Best wishes to those he left behind.
