He then worked as a home builder where he soon became the owner and operator of his own business. Earl and Mary Ann moved from Milwaukee to Grafton and together, built their forever home in 1968. Earl enjoyed doing many activities. As a young boy, he would spend a lot of his time at his grandfather’s farm in Manistee, Michigan. As an adult, he enjoyed hunting alongside his beloved dogs. After retirement, he loved traveling and golfing with his wife.
