Earl passed into the loving arms of our Lord and Savior at Vitas Hospice Care in Fort Worth, Texas.
Earl had a love for tennis early on in his life. He competed at a collegiate level and played for TCU. In 1973, Earl became the first tennis pro at the new Woodhaven Country Club. In 1983, he decided to open his own business, The Tennis Shop. In 2008, he joined the Tennis Outlet team to service the DFW area and deliver product directly to Coaches. He loved supplying tennis equipment to the schools around the metroplex area and meeting with Coaches. If you were lucky enough, he would even put up the windscreens! Earl was inducted into the Tennis Coaches Hall of Honor in 2020. They gave him one of the special ‘red jackets’ and if you know what that is, you know what an honor it means to have one. Receiving that jacket was so special to Earl! Whether you were a onetime customer or someone he visited regularly, he never forgot those interactions.
Services will be held at Greenwood Funeral Home (Mausoleum), 3344 White Settlement Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76107. Visitation will be Monday April 14th from 6pm-8pm. The funeral service will be Tuesday April 15th at 2pm.
