My most precious memories of dear Earl where when he and I would sit on Dan and Lisa's sofa in the family room and Earl would tell me stories of his military service in the army. He was able to recall so many details of his experiences - just as if it had happened yesterday. I remember being so impressed with the amount of responsibility he was given and would be riveted to his words as he told me the details of his experiences. It was like a living history lesson. I could tell he was very proud of his service to our country. It was an impressionable part of his life and he found comfort in sharing his memories with others. I also remember sitting next to him on that same sofa - it would have been about 9 years ago. I had just injured both my knees in a yoga class and had been to several doctors regarding a prognosis - none of which gave me a time frame for healing. Earl readily launched into his explanation of muscle spindles (and some other type of "spindle") in an attempt to explain what may have happened to my soft tissue. When I asked him how long he thought it would take for my knees to heal, he looked at me soberly and said, "It will likely take a very long time". He told me "like it was," which I needed to hear, to curb any unrealistic expectations of recovery on my part. As it turned out, it was a year-long process including countless hours of physical therapy. Thank you, Earl, for your honesty and expertise of anatomy and injuries. I will dearly miss your intellect and your willingness to share stories of your life. You have contributed SO much to this world during your 98 years. What an amazing role model you have been to us all. I feel so privileged to have known you these past 18 years. Thank goodness your dear granddaughter Eloise befriended my daughter Breeana, or our paths would never had crossed. You will be dearly missed by us all. Rest in peace. With heartfelt love, Noreen Kovelman
