Born in Timmins, September 30, 1927, Earl taught Music, English, and French in secondary schools from Sudbury to Scarborough, Oshawa to North York and was praised and respected by his students as one of the best. Earl was a classical musician known for his talent and ease at the piano. The “Old Master” at ping-pong, he never turned down a match and somehow always won! A lover of nature, travel, hockey, windsurfing and tennis, his legacy is one that lives on in the active lifestyles of his family.
