My favorite memory of Uncle Earl is sitting on the floor in front of him when he had candy. He always had those sandwich licorace candies, and always a big box. He'd give them to us one at a time so we had to stay still if we wanted more. I'm not real fond of licorace, but, I always remember that the ones he had were special. I occasionally see small boxes of them in the grocery store, and I buy them once in a while. Every time I see them, I remember Uncle Earl.
