Retirement Celebration

For Chaplain Earl Carlson

Saturday Morning – May 30

Part Two

 

My responsibility was to create a PowerPoint of photos I have taken of Earl.  This was the last photo in my series of slides.  Earl was walking to his van following Winter Retreat a few years ago.

 

 

Following the PowerPoint, Bunny read an emotional letter to Earl from TFC President Scott Weidner.

 

 

Earl listening to an amusing part of the letter.

Earl made a few comments

 

 

 

 

Chaplain David closed by inviting everyone to continue in prayer for the work at I-90 East TA, Exit 48A, Pembroke, New York.

 

 

Several truck stop employees came to honor Earl with best wishes.

 

 

 

 

He received lots of hugs…

 

 

…and best wishes.

 

 

Some grandchildren and great-grandchildren
