Age 78, of Germantown, OH, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 2, 2022, at home surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Franklin, OH, on September 17, 1943, to the late Leona (Guthrie) and

Green and Pastor Mike Williams officiating. Burial will be at Germantown Union Cemetery. Pastor Earl would like everyone who reads this to join him in Heaven. You can know you will see him in Heaven by using this plan of salvation: 1) Admit you are a sinner, in need of a Savior: a) Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". b) Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death..." Believe that Jesus is God's son and died to pay for our sins. c) Romans 6:23 ...but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord." d) Romans 5:8...while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 2) Confess. 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." If desired memorial contributions may be made to Wounded Warrior Project or to Carpenter's House Baptist Church. Dalton Funeral Home, Germantown serving the family.
