Earl George Dutrow, Jr., 72, of Berryville, Virginia died October 31, 2022.
At his request, no service will be held.
Earl was born July 11, 1950 in Leesburg. He was the seventh of nine children born to the late Earl and Thelma Dutrow, Sr. He was a 1968 graduate of Loudon Valley High School. Earl sold lawn and farm equipment parts for 35 years; he retired from Carlisle & Anderson, where he worked most of his career, in December of 2016.
His family will remember him as being a family man. Earl enjoyed sharing his life stories with others and he encouraged others to share their stories with their children and grandchildren. Some of his favorite stories to share were growing up on a farm, the year he lived and worked in Germany on a family-owned farm, and his trip to Rome with his wife, Linda. He was well known for telling jokes to everyone he met, he always had a new one to share. Throughout his retirement he enjoyed doing yardwork with Linda.
