Andrew C. Earl, born March 9. 1935 in Cedar Rapid, Iowa, passed away on November 30, 2012 in Prescott, Arizona. Andy arrived in Prescott on October 31, 1955 during the Halloween Parade with his brother, Bob. Upon arrival they stayed at a boarding house now known as Hampton Funeral Home. Andy was a dishwasher by trade, he worked at Walt’s Coffee Shop when it was located on Gurley and Montezuma and then moved out on East Gurley. After Walt’s closed Andy worked at the Dinner Bell Café for many years. His last place of employment was the Sunset Hills Restaurant. If anyone worked in any of these kitchens from 1956 to 1990 you probably ran into Andy. In 1990 Andy retired due to a back injury. Andy never married, he is survived by his niece and guardian, Mary Jane (Mike) Hopf, Prescott; sister, Alice (Murray) Marks, Iowa; nieces: Lynn, Dea, Jennifer, Joyce; nephews: Murray (Chip) and Robert Jr. (Bob).
