Condolences to the family of Earl Hankerson. I was blessed to have met Earl at the place we were both employed at. He was so kind and always had a kind word for everyone and about everyone he came in contact with. And I was a newbie so he always gave me suggestions on how to produce quality work and be productive. He said it with a smile not judging even if I didnt get it right the first time. He always shared a story of his travels with his beloved family whom he loved dearly. Too his family I know you miss his presence very much, just know Earl has his wings now God has another angel among him. Prayers for you all! Maria & Rodney Lowery 🙏

Earl was a good friend to my parents, Ed & Nancy Gardner. After dad passed in 2012, Earl would stop in from time to time to check on mom. He would bring her flowers. He bought her hand sanitizer during the Pandemic. They always spoke highly of Earl. Julie Kiser, Gastonia

My prayers are going out for Hankerson Family. He was a good person and the best neighbor. When I lost my husband Earl became my security guard he was always watching out for my house he would let me know when packages arrived or if I left my garage open. I am going to miss him. I know he will still be watching the neighbor. Thanks Earl R.I.P. Your neighbor, Cheryl(Mrs Perkins)

Cynthia I am so sorry for your lost, Earl was the best neighbor I ever had, I will miss his presence always there in the morning, a smile and a greeting, a heartwarming conversation. Always encouraging me to take care of Pablo. I am so sorry I am not there to do my neighborly duty to you and yours. But my prayers are with you and the Lord Jesus our Saviors is always with you. Isaiah 41:10 " So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand". Relay on Him, He will lift you up. Debbie.
