Brown of Albany, Nancy Roselan (Harry) of Guilderland, and Darren DeLong (Kristen) of Albany; his great nieces Barbara Brown and Katherine Brown; his great great nephew Wyatt Mead; and by several other nieces and nephews.

Earl’s family would like to extend their deep appreciation to the wonderful care given to Earl by Dr. David Putnam, Trish Putnam, Dr. James Puleo, Jr., Dr. Roberta Miller, and Dr. William Kowal.

    To Alice and Nancy,

    So sorry to hear about Uncle Earl’s passing – but I’m sure we’re all in agreement that it was better to be this way than to have him suffer for many months. Thinking of you with love,

    Lucille
