I first met Earl in 1973 at Temple University when he starred &#8212; hilariously &#8211; in a student film I was making. When I moved to LA, I ran into Earl who had been living here for years pursuing his amazing career. We&#8217;d get together every now and then for coffee at Starbucks or dinner at Mo&#8217;s in Burbank. I always enjoyed seeing him because he was a kind, funny and certainly talented man whose positive outlook was something I admired. I was supposed to give Earl the Kermit photo but I had misplaced it and and I thought it to be lost. But the other day, I found it and was going to bring it to him this week. Earl, I screwed up. But here&#8217;s your photo and this is the way I want to remember you &#8211; smiling, happy and full of life.
