Earl was a proud WWII Navy Veteran, and a survivor of the sinking of the USS Princeton. He belonged to the Trenton Elks 105, VFW, American Legion 314, and Pennington Road Fire Company (Life member). He loved the trucking industry and drove a tractor trailer for 65 years – accident and ticket free – for Kirby & Kirby, Bair, Hill Refrigeration and Fenelli Rigging.
After retirement he loved going to his home in Florida and tinkering with anything mechanical. His great grandchildren always brightened his day and brought a smile to his face. He is loved and will be greatly missed by family and friends.

So sorry about Uncle Earl. He was a great guy and always left a smile on our faces. He will be missed.
Sending our deepest sympathies & prayers to the entire Baughman Family. Much Love from Tony & Linda Montervino ,
Cindy, Our condolences in the loss of your Dad. May many memories of him bring you comfort and peace. With sympathy, Paul Everett and George Hilton.
Sending deepest sympathy to Earls family. He was my neighbor for over 20 years. I’ll miss waving to him as he sat on his front porch-the “mayor” of the neighborhood. When my husband died he came down and taught me how to start and care for my mower so I could take care of the yard. He also fixed it after I ran over a tree root. He was a gentleman and I will miss him!
