His family moved to rural Geddes, SD in 1943. He graduated from Platte High School in 1945. Earl married Betty M. Phillips on August 10, 1952 at the Geddes United Methodist Church and moved into Geddes where he resided for the remainder of his life. His early work experiences include construction of the Fort Randall Dam, Charles Mix County and Mobil Oil.

Earl concluded his work activities delivering fuel for the Geddes Farmers Coop Oil Station.

Earl enjoyed camping with family, summer days on the Missouri River, and especially the family’s annual Black Hills deer hunting trip which he participated in for 60 years. Earl and Betty enjoyed golfing together and made many friends through their association with the Lake Platte Golf Club. Throughout his life Earl always enjoyed a good game of cards.
