Earl is one of our newest Rotarians, becoming a member in October. He's been married 19 years and they have 3 lovely daughters. Earl was born in Everett, but he and his family more recently moved back to Washington from Ohio. He's an avid Seahawks fan and also enjoys camping, fishing, golf, tennis, but mostly in his spare time spending time with his family is most important. As our Chelan County Chief Deputy Coroner, Earl works on over 500 cases a year. He's required to be on call 24 hrs day/7 days a week, taking turns a week at a time with the County Coroner. The job requires that he be sensitive and caring (part people-person) as well as part investigator. His work includes homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, sudden deaths and unattended deaths-state law requires all unattended deaths be reported to the Coroner's Office. As the Chief Deputy Coroner his job includes: 1) Determining the cause and manner of death, 2) Thorough investigation of death ,3) Positively identifying the decedent, 4) Accurately and factually documenting the death scene, and 5) Determining whether an autopsy is required. Jokingly? Earl left us with his motto "Smile, tomorrow's going to be worse"
