Earl, You have brightened and enlightened the hearts and minds of many. Your spirit will stay alive in all of us. Twelve years of laughs is a long time. I'll never forget those days. I'll never forget you. Rest peacefully. Missing you, Alan. A man of many styles . . . all are different but the Man will always be the same. Never to be forgotten, my memories of the Man called Wynn will live on inside me. There's a little bit of Wynn in all of us. - Steven. One day a seed was planted. Another. a stern was sprouted To lite another beauty To earth another blessing. One day, we grew a bud. Another was an outline of a rose. An invisible rose of no color. One by one. many of those special roses began to grow. On another day. we were all picked. One by one by one. Together those 'troses were clustered in a vase To the Wynn: The man I love like a brother. who will always be in my heart. for the rest of my life. To the man who was unique in his own way. and may no one try to imitate him. I'm going to miss you. I love you. my Brother. - Leon EARL WYNN If you have ever gone to the gymnasium at LaGuardia, you had the pleasure of meeting Earl Wynn. Earl's perennial smile would greet you when you entered. and the warmth of his personality carried with you when you left. Earl always had the time to go out of his way for you. When you met him. you felt that you met a dear friend. Earl died in November of 1988 and he will be deeply missed. Through this page. we hope to celebrate his memory with Notes from the LaGuardia Recreation Family - those who had the pleasure of working with him throughout the years Their feelings are summarized in a letter to his widow. Robin: One of Earl's playful pet phrases was 'my brother' . . . We all took that pretty seriously. EW: I wish . . . . . . that I could be sure you knew how important I thought you were to our staff. . . . that I could shoot that jumpshot-on-a-bet the way you did. . . . that we could still open that hardware store. it 5;; ,e that we could have shared that much-talked-about night uptown. . . . that we could discuss all this tommorrow . . . $:29 gages Q24 AJS Blending, all the same forming Something splendid, something warm. All in the same water All sharing the same space. All left to lean on each other until each one by one Wilts and dies. By then. we still hold on to the thought of each and every special rose The memory that can never wilt and die - Alexandra Gomez We're gonna miss him. I remember when he used to call Jose. To my man Earl the Pearl Best friend in the world. me superman and tell me I had nine lives i . . I wish he had many more lives. I guess the reality is that when it's time, we move on to a higher plane. May he rest in peace. Missing him, A friend. indeed. in time of need. We're going to miss your one-of-akind style and grace, but in our hearts you will always be with us. Love ya, Eric. 48 - FaclStaff
