He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Travis, Riley (Niko), Kaitlyn, Chelsea, Rorie, Ava, first great-granddaughter on the way, four Brothers and their families.
Earl was a passionate businessman who excelled throughout his sales career. From working at AB Dick, National Typewriter, Kodak, Bio Static, Danka, then starting his own company Bridgeport Office Solutions in 2000.Earl’s customers knew that they were in good hands with his expertise of the copier sales business. He made strong connections that continue to live on within his company to which two of his daughters continue to run.
After his retirement, he spent his summers in Lac du Bonnet with family and friends, then the winter months were spent in beautiful Puerto Vallarta with his wife Val and their three dogs (Dude, Ricky, and Lola). He loved PV and his beautiful views from their casa. Earl made so many wonderful friends in PV, who all knew him as “Pancho”. Earl loved to travel and all the adventures that him and Val had all over the world with family and friends.
Earl was a strong, kind, loving, and supportive man. His knowledge and sense of humour were the foundation of his life. With his strong guidance he was always available to hear an idea or help solve a problem. If he could lend a hand – he would try his best.
Earl had a love for animals. He was always helping innocent animals by paying vet bills and trying to better their lives. Especially the neighbourhood dogs in Mexico.

I was very shocked when I found out that Earl had passed he was a wonderful, kind and caring person. We had a wonderful times snowmobiling having fun, having great laughs, very softhearted and loved having people around and sharing whatever he could, he loved taking everyone out on the pontoon. He always had something planned which included everyone, no one was left out, he adored his son and daughter and grandson. It was never too much when it came to his family. He always had a sparkle in his eyes when he looked at Val. He loved Catherine just as much as his own, he was a wonderful man, I truly did care for Earl. Definitely one of a kind, I wish I could’ve spent more time with him in the last few years. I have always thought of Earl and Val. This was a couple that you can never forget always in my heart ❤️ forever. I hope all is well with everyone, I’m sure he watching over all of them, when I think of all the fun and I think of things that we enjoyed all of us together I have to say it was one of the most happiest times of my life. God bless you all. Take care. - Posted by: Bonnie Legere (Freind) on: Sep 20, 2024
