Earn has many hobbies throughout the years including hunting, fishing and golfing.  He taught his boys and extended family many things throughout the years that they are extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to learn.  He was a machinist for York International, Borg Warner, BAE systems, and Johnson Controls, in York for 47 years.  He was an avid reader and could always be seen holding an old war book or, more recently his kindle. But above all else, he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.

Main St. Dallastown.  A time to share memories an opportunity to view will be at 10 am until the start of the service. Interment will follow at Susquehanna Memorial Gardens in York.  There will be a time of fellowship after the services at Salem United Church of Christ, 24 Franklin St Jacobus.

The family asks that you come dressed casually wearing something blue.  He wouldn't want it to be a formal event.
