Earl was a hoot to talk too. I too am amazed at how willing he was to talk to people who might not even purchase anything from him. A truely genuine individual indeed.

The show will definitely go on... his son Mike runs the shop too. I am sure things will not be 100% for a while, but it will go on.

Does anyone know if a memorial service will be held for the public?

Awww man. Earl always put up with my calls and constant barrage of questions. He really was a stand up guy.

This is really sad news. RIP Earl and condolences to the family!

Earl has helped me enormously, without complaint and with great patience.

I would like to relay my deepest condolences to the Laskey family and wish them the best of luck during this most trying moment. Although I have never met Earl in person, I have talked to him several times on the phone (most recently about 2 weeks ago) and he was a real class-act guy who had no problem talking to you for hour and sharing his tuning insights with you.

God bless and rest in piece.

My condolences to the Laskey family as well. I really enjoyed talking with Earl on the phone and he was always patient and didn't mind taking to time to explain things in detail to someone with limited technical knowledge like myself. Earl was one of the best business people I've ever dealt with and I'm sure that carried over from his personal life.

Good to see everyone that attended Earl's memorial service yesterday.
It was nice to see all his friends and family that he had impacted so positively throughout his lifetime.

It was definitely great seeing everyone. I couldn't believe how many CUSTOMERS, let alone family, showed up for his service. Just shows how much he was liked among his community.

Does anyone know where you can get the Laskey rest in peace bumper stickers?

Can you put 400 of them in a container for me?

Sure, but you have to go pick it up from the docks yourself.
