Earl L. Irvine

Earl L. Irvine, age 83, of St. Helen, passed away suddenly at home, Monday, January 21, 2008. He was a very loving and caring husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was an expert trout fisherman. In fact, it’s been said, “He could catch trout in a rain puddle.” He loved his gardening and he loved to share the things he grew with neighbors and those who passed by. He will be greatly missed by his family. Earl is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Jane and four sons, Leon (Barbara) Irvine of Flushing, Keith Irvine and Frank (Margaret) Irvine both of St. Helen and Earl Jr. (Betty Jean) Irvine of Bonita Springs, FL, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Cremation has taken place. A private service will be held at a later date.
