Gamble, 79, a well known and respected farmer, passed away on Wednesday, July 22, 2020. His gentle and caring ways will always be with us as we carry on our daily tasks in life.

His heart was broken on October 12, 2008 when she passed away following a courageous battle with Lupus. Earl was a lifelong farmer, he enjoyed his walks along the hillside with his dog Boomer where he would reminisce on the day and be planning on where to sit for hunting season. When chores were done, a game of golf would often played. An avid Steeler and Pirate's enthusiast Earl would always find time to cheer them on! Memories and stories were shared when family gathered at the farm ~ if tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, we'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again…..Until we meet again Dad, may you find comfort in the arms of the angels.
