He was a 1950 graduate of Massillon Washington High School, a lifelong resident of Massillon and a true Tiger Fan. Earl began his career in the United States Navy where he served during the Korean War on the U.S.S. Severn. He worked for Tyson Roller Bearings for 32 years and after retiring from there worked for Massillon City Schools for 26 years as a bus driver.
