I know it is many years later but I often think about Earl , I was an apprentice at Gulf oil garage and remember my time there in 1971 . He was a driver on the transport end of the business, also he and his family had a trailer in the same park in Orillia with my x wife’s family the Ellersons . My condolences to the jessop s family and remember your loved ones are always in someone’s mind. I hope you get this message.
