Hi! I’m Carla Kozak. Earl was my mother’s cousin. When growing up we spent time with Earl and the rest of the family. I remember so fondly his Mom, Martha and sister, Kay. We all had some wonderful times. Earl always had stories to tell and a great sense of humor. Great belly laughs were had by one and all. God bless you Earl and the rest of your family. Love to all!
I’ll never forget what you did for all us kids and how you built the Hopwood, PA super BMX track II. The memories we all created traveling and racing BMX all over Pennsylvania and the East Coast.
How you taught me to never give up and with hard work and determination we could all achieve our goals in BMX and Life.
My sincere sympathy to Dennis and Family – Tom
