Dear Nancy, I'm Bob Milliken's daughter, Pam. I am so sorry to hear that Earl has passed away. The friendship that you and Earl shared with my Dad was a great comfort to him while he was at the Laramie Care Center. I hope that this special connection was also a comfort to you and Earl. You and your family are in my prayers. Pam

Nancy, Carmen, John, Ashley & Mark and families: Earl made a lasting impression on me as a child and director of the Christian Youth Crusaders (CYC) at Faith Wesleyan Church. I remember the hay rack rides at your farm and the fun he instilled in being a Christian. I appreciated the meals we had when you lived in Greeley as well! God bless you and the memories you have of his life. Rick Budensiek
