King-eL, you shall be sorely missed

sorry to hear of his passing. RIP

Rest well sir and thank you for imparting all the knowledge and for your humble nature to help others you shall be sorely missed ????. I still cannot believe it ...

A true legend in every sense of the word. The aquarium community and especially the poly community will not be the same without him. He probably forgot more about bichirs than I could ever learn. Rest, fish and swim in peace King.

Rest in peace to a great MFKer

Tragic-only lived a short distance from me and I was hoping to meet up just to see his collection in the flesh
All the time, effort and passion that went into his hobby and its gone. Just awful news

We all are poorer today! Earl enriched the lives of many, he will be missed.

Thoughts and prayers got out to his family.

I pass by his place on my way to work every day. I came by one day to buy a bichir and check out his collection. Some amazing specimens for sure. Had a great chat about polys and his knifefish... wish I had asked more now.

Huge loss for the hobby locally and abroad.

I got the news while at work today. I last saw him about a month ago. We both did our very first import together from Toyin at Rehobooth out of the USA back in 2002. Earl went on to become an expert in all things monsterfish related. I’ll miss you Earl. RIP
