Dear Friends, It's with the utmost regret and sorry that I'm sharing this news with you: I've just been told by someone in Earl's Doctor's office that our beloved Earl Scruggs passed away this morning around 10:00am at St. Thomas Hospital...Full of hope that this was a mix up of some kind, I asked the receptionist if she was CERTAIN of this, and she said she was, and one of the Doctor's assistants confirmed it as well by saying that she was the one that took the call from St Thomas with the news..
