Warren and I knew Earl for the past 8 years.He was a great neighbor and was always the first to make some kind of a joke.When I brought my dog from the groomers he would always say “That’s not a Cocker Spaniel you have it cut like a Poodle” He was always willing to lend a helping hand.We always got a kick out of the rabbits that would come around and Earl would always have food for them.Every time I hear the theme song to Andy Griffith show,I will think of Earl.

I used to fish with Earl.
He loved to fish and take his boat out. We went to the Florida keys on vacation many years ago.

I am sorry for the familys loss
Poppy I thought of you and how proud you are of me when I visited the Arlington National Cemetery. I realized the impact and difference I make by serving my country, what an honor it is to serve and how many have given their lives for what we have today. You were my reason for entering into the service because you always believed I could do anything. I want to thank you for being an important a part of my life, for teaching me to believe in myself, and for giving me unconditional love and acceptance.
I will always love and miss you.
Pops, My Grouper Fishing King! You will always be remembered and cherished for all the precious time we had. Whether it was watching you live “kingly” in “YOUR” garage; seeing your expression when I asked you to go faster with the boat; laughing at you trying beer other than “Bud” and simply being yourself. Thanks for letting me be part of the family and your life. You will always be remembered in our hearts. We miss you! Your Princess – Nikki
Poppy, I will miss you, but you will still be with me. When I do the morning puzzles in the paper, when I look at Sassy, when I see the open ocean or a grouper.. I can still hear your laugh. I love you poppy.
Earl Mummert is survived by two loving(real blood) daughters, Donna Jean his first daughter and me Debra Mummert. I will correct this obituary when I am able to do so. I have been too upset about the death of my FATHER and the obituary being emailed to me on November 23. I didn’t know my Dad was ill or in the care of hospice as I have been told. I wanted to visit him in January to clear up a few important matters, well too late now. I very much loved my Father and am very sad that I was not given the chance to see him or even know that he was so sick. Someone will write that he didn’t want to see you. And “we” know why!
After my Father moved to St. Petersburg from Silver Springs, Maryland in 1963 my parents divorced. I began my search for my Dad one evening in March 1974 and called his house, he was not there but I left a message and he called me back the next day. We cried, we laughed and I drove down along with a friend about 3 days later from North Carolina. What a reunion we had for a couple of weeks!! I immediately learned where I got my very very dry wit and sense of humor. We were almost twins, that’s what some of his wives used to say anyway. I remember Marcia and Gwen from years ago and they were such classy ladies. We had some really great times. Like I said I will try to write a real obituary as soon as I can. Marcia or Gwen if either of you read this please email me.
