Earl was born on July 22, 1929 in Stotts City, Missouri. Earl was a good, decent, and honorable man of sound character. He was respectful of all people no matter their race, color, background, socio-economic status, or religion. He truly treated everyone the same, no matter who they were. He had an impeccable work ethic and was always a dedicated employee, no matter who he worked for. He was a man of his word and honored his commitments to those he gave his word to. He believed in integrity and doing the right thing, no matter what the cost. He was always lending a helping hand to those in need, at a moment’s notice. He was a loving husband and father, who cared for his family and put the needs of them before his own. He was a humorous man and always loved to make people laugh and smile. He always maintained a positive outlook on life, no matter how bad life or things would get.

Earl was a proud U.S. Veteran who served his country in the United States Navy from 1950 to 1953. He enlisted in the Navy in 1950 upon the onset of the Korean War and was stationed in San Diego, California. While Earl was overseas he saw action while serving aboard the USS Juneau and the USS Tucker. In 1953 Earl was honorably discharged from his duties in the U.S. Navy. He truly was a great man. He will surely be missed by his loving family and everyone who ever knew him. God bless his soul and may he rest in eternal peace.

The Scott and Blount Families would like to thank all the administration, nursing staff, rehabilitation staff, nursing assistant staff, support staff of the Brownsville Nursing and Rehabilitation center and Dr. Lorenzo Pelly for the great care and friendship they provided for Earl over the last five and a half years of his life. We truly appreciated everyone’s hard work.
