BOEHM EARL EARL BOEHM WAS A PR...
BOEHM EARL Earl Boehm was a precious son, loving father, and a wonderful brother, but most of all, a loyal friend. Raised in Wall, Pennsylvania, Earl was surrounded by many friends and family members who adored his positive outlook on life. Always willing to have a good time, he brought the party to everywhere he went. When Earl loved someone, he loved them like family and treated them like gold. Everyone who was lucky enough to know him called him one of a kind, a true unique human being. He always made everyone's day a little brighter, their life a little more positive, their smile a little wider. He stood by his brothers in everything that he did and protected them at all costs. Earl was a hero to many, a superstar in the many places he lived. From Iowa, to Kansas, to Florida, Earl made a friend everywhere he went. His traveling career let the nation be able to share his light, and he always had his family, blood related or not, rooting for him back in his hometown. On June 22, 2015, the town of Wall lost one of its bricks, its legends, the man that was Earl C. Boehm. He will be missed forever, but live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him. Dear son of Sharren Breakey (stepfather, Gerald), George (stepmother, Cheryl); special dad of Spencer, Chance and Trinity; companion of Tiffany; brother of George and Christian Boehm and Cheryl Godek and Amanda Boehm; also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and many friends.
