Earl was a friend to alot of younger growing up. My brothers and I all thought and respected Scruggs. Although we have all grown apart, he’s held a place in our hearts.

I was friends with Earl for 20 years, and the man had a heart of gold. Driving across the country and on job sites working, or going to concerts and just hanging out, Earl had a laugh that you can never forget. The time we were at a Ratt concert and I told him about a couple grass heads in front of us, he laughed so hard telling me he hadn\u2019t heard someone called that in years. The man would give you the shirt off his back, and buy you another one before doing anything for himself. Thanks for the memories Earl, you were a good and loyal friend.
