Mike Kingston wrote a sympathy message

“Earl was one in a million. He was passionate about improving how we worked as a Service, punching above his weight in building our policing model. He was a visionary and while recognized within the service with the Award of Excellence, he was more notably recognized by several US organizations for his work. He was a great guy to work with and there are lots of "Earl the Pearl" stories which only He could pull off. He was also immensely supportive of his family. He will be missed . RIP Earl.”

“We had so much fun working at the NRG Night Club. Earl manned the Wagon, which was stationed right at the Front Door of the Club. Amongst chaos, screaming, yelling and fights - Earl was forever calm as he broadcast. The Characters we came across, the laughs, the stories. Earl - you were the best and so much fun to work with. I'll never forget those days. They were great because of you. You were a great Police Officer. It was an honour to work with you. RIP my friend.”
