“Earl was one of the nicest and most gentle persons I have been blessed to know. We worked as colleagues at the CCIW in Burlington for many years and it was always a pleasure to run into him after we retired. He was a regular attendee at the monthly CCIW Retirees coffee meeting and I looked forward to his always interesting and entertaining conversation. I will always remember him.”

“Earl was a fantastic guy to work with! He always had great ideas, a helpful hand, and I had some of the best conversations with him, whether it was in the hallways at work at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters or onboard one of the research vessels. I have fond memories working with Earl on the CSS Bayfield out on Lake Ontario back in the 1980s. Always a pleasure. He will be missed by many. My condolences to his family and friends.”
