Earle was born on the Walter and Cora Mae Cox farm on Redford Table 10 miles south of Callaway in Custer County, Nebraska, March 26, 1918 and passed away March 25, 2011 in Tempe, Arizona. In the 93 years of his life's journey, he lived and worked in the USA, Europe and Africa and traveled widely visiting Morocco, New Zealand, Australia, India as well as multiple trips to Europe and Africa. After graduating with an Ag Engineering degree from University of Nebraska, Earle worked for Allis Chalmers in Milwaukee WI. Among several wartime activities, he was involved in manufacturing components used in the first atomic bombs. After the war he finished his Masters degree in Materials Science at Illinois Institute of Technology and became a research professor at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Later he worked on his doctorate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology but before completing it became Chief Engineer for a company making large 4 wheel drive tractors in Stockton, CA. He joined Booz-Allen & Hamilton as a management consultant and went overseas with his wife, son and daughter. In Italy, he assisted the Italian government's activities in changing over military production to civilian products during the Marshall Plan. In Egypt, as part of the "Point 4 Program" now called USAID he worked to streamline the flow of passengers and freight at the Port of Alexandria, Egypt. After several years abroad, he and his family returned to the USA, where he worked on consulting projects in the USA. In the late 50's he was head of American operations for a Swiss railroad maintenance equipment company. He subsequently started his own firm to weld railroad rails into long continuous lengths using welding equipment built with his patented approach for applying the electric butt weld method. Over the years he gained more than 15 patents to his name.

He was involved in the design of air droppable runway construction equipment for the US Air Force as well as re-engineering crawler tractors for better performance. In all his activities he led engineers in developing leading edge products often by developing new processes or embodying new technologies. In the 70's he joined Ford Motor Company and became involved in the Alternate Fuel Program. He retired at 76 and returned as a consultant to Ford for another 2 years.Throughout his career he took time to play golf and was fond of telling about playing the "browns" in Egypt and India and how he played the "postage stamp" hole at St. Andrews better than Tiger Woods!

Richard L. Charter

CHARTER, Richard L., retired estimator, entered into this world December 18, 1947. Lived a life he mostly wanted, cared much for his family and friends. A high school basketball star and a loyal University of Arizona Wildcat fan. Rick was the best father he could be to a son that he loved dearly, a son that loved his parents, a brother that was also a friend, and a friend that would understand no matter what you did or said. Rick left this world to be free from his pain on March 8, 2011. Preceded in death by his father, H.C. Charter and mother, Bette Charter. Survived by an only son, Jeremy Charter of Tucson, AZ; brothers, Greg Charter (Trish) of Show Low, AZ and California, Mick Charter (Jody) of Tucson, AZ and sister, Sandy (Al) of Boise, ID; several nieces and nephews in Arizona and Idaho. When you are made to say see you later without knowing when the later might be, you start to think why you didn't see as much of each other when we did have that knowledge; to my father who I truly loved and cared for, but waited too long to make sure you knew it. Rick was a good man, and will be missed by many. Gone but will never be forgotten. Please join Rick's family in a celebration of his life at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, April 2, 2011 at Orange Grove Estates recreation center, 3635 W. Mangrove (Orange Grove just east of Thornydale).
