I grew up in the small farming community of Vandalia, Michigan, with Earnie. I was only 13 when he was killed, but I have never forgotten him. I remember riding the school bus with him and bailing hay together on his family farm. He was just a sweet farm boy who was too young to die, but he did. God bless you Earnie, you are not forgotten.
