He entered the Army Air Forces and attended Navigation School. He did not see combat duty but was assigned to Navigation Instructor duty. He was honorably discharged from active duty in November 1945 at Langley Field, Virginia.

Earl graduated from Pepperdine University and taught one year in the Los Angeles school system. He then began his career in private industry as an engineer in the aerospace and medical technology industries until his retirement in 1986 from CD Medical, Inc, a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company.

He also produced and supplied a different type rib to several other companies.
Earl was a faithful member of the People of Faith Lutheran Church in Winter Garden, Florida. As an affirmation of his faith he was building a Zenith aircraft for donation to Missionary Aviation until his health began to fail.

Amy Malecki

Amy Malecki, age 45 passed away on November 3, 2013.  She was born in Palm Bay, Florida to Nancy and Stanley who both preceded her in death.  Amy spent her childhood in Otego, New York and moved to Florida in 1995.

She was diagnosed with Lupus on 2000.  It did not define her and she chose with purpose not to allow Lupus to be a main character in her life.  She chose people, travel, fun, laughter, pitching softball and to be an advocate of pet rescue.  She chose to live in spite of Lupus.  Because of this choice her ending was quick and as graceful as one can imagine.  She leaves a hole that she would tell you to fill with the memories of her laughter... now... go adopt a pet.
 
Amy leaves to cherish her memory, Brothers: Jimmy, Ed and Bobby; Nieces and Nephews: Amanda, Joey, Nicholas, Brent, Kasey and Kyle; beloved rescue, Aarlie the dog; and many extended family and friends.  A Celebration of Life will be held from 1:30 pm until 3:30 pm on Saturday, November 23, 2013 at Dobbs Funeral Home, located at 430 N.

 God Took Him To His Loving Home
God saw him getting tired, a cure was not to be.
He wrapped him in his loving arms and whispered ‘Come with me.’
He suffered much in silence, his spirit did not bend.
He faced his pain with courage, until the very end.
He tried so hard to stay with us but his fight was not in vain,
God took him to His loving home and freed him from the pain.
