Wow, I just heard about Earl's passing. I am shocked, and saddened.
He will be greatly missed, along with Bonnie, of course.
I had such a nice visit with them at their townhome when I was in town a few years ago. Now I'm so glad that I took the time to have that visit, because you just never know what may happen.
My best to the family - you are in my prayers.
Earl was absolutely one of a kind...VERY kind...a wonderful person and a joy to work with. We can be so glad he will be reunited with the love of his life in heaven.
I was honered to be of service to the Passes with their Medicare health plans. Please note that the government will automatically close his coverages through Medicare and the insurance companies with no additional action needed.
I am away from Rochester for an extended time so regret I am unable to attend visitation or the service.
