Earl Martin Street, 99
MILLSBORO - Earl Martin Street of Millsboro departed this life Sunday, May 27, 2007, at 4 a.m. after a short illness at the home of his daughter. He was 99.
He was born Jan.2, 1908, in Millsboro, just down the road from his home known as the Short Farm House, to the late Gardner and Hester Norwood Street.
Earl was educated at the Harmon School. At an early age, Earl devoted his time working with his father.
Earl later left Delaware and moved to Philadelphia, and later to Camden, N.J, with his family. In 1925 he moved to Allentown, Pa., and married Algetha Boyer Street. Out of this union they had Ronald and Gail.
Earl said the best thing that happened to him was joining the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Allentown in 1945.
In 1948 Earl returned to Millsboro to be caregiver to his father. He was employed by the State of Delaware Highway Department and retired at age 62.
After his retirement, he and his wife ministered to many families who had lost many loved ones.
After the death of his wife he became the neighborhood fox to many women.
He was a devoted and loyal member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and served in many capacities.
Earl"s pride and joy in life was his daughter Gail. In his eyes she never did any wrong.
Earl will truly be missed, not only by family but by his many friends and extended family.
His love of life and helping people in general will long be remembered. He was always willing to help others and did that task with a smile.
He is survived by his devoted daughter, Gail McCall of Millsboro; son, Ronald LeVan of Allentown; grandchildren, Richard, Shasonya, Craig, Claudette, Paulette and Natasha; and 18 additional grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and his puppy, Snow Ball.
Viewing will be from 6-8 p.m. Saturday at Seventh Day Adventist Church in Millsboro. Services will be 1 p.m. Sunday at Seventh Day Adventist Church in Millsboro where friends may view two hours prior.
