Dear Vicki
I have thought of you so often over the years. I so appreciated that you accepted me into the family and I felt that even though we lived so far apart we were kindred spirits.
Earl’s passing away was such a shock I can only imagine the grief you have gone thru. I’m so so sorry for your loss and I wish I had known sooner or had been able to be there for you in any way …. Please know that I think of you often and pray that you are well and finding happiness ❤️

We have many happy memories with Earl (and Vicky) and cherish them all.. whether it was at their beautiful home in Little Rapids or the spectacular Gaff Topsails. We will continue to miss him but keep the memories with us.

I was one of the few students who received an exemption to attend G.A Mercer, rather than the mandatory route to G.C. Rowe, due its proximity to my family home. Finishing up at C.C. Loughlin and saying a temporary good-bye to my friends of the past seven years was a daunting experience for an extremely shy 12-year-old boy.
I was one of the lucky students assigned to Mr. Pike’s Home Room and I remember how he took the time to make a personal connection – my older brothers had traveled the same path several years before me. His calm demeanor and pleasant smith helped ease the start of this new journey.
Hands down, some of the best memories from Junior High School was attending his gym class. He exposed us kids (even the less athletic – like me) to the joy of sport, the importance of hard work, the importance of trying something new (regardless of your skill level), and the importance of giving your absolute best effort. He was a great teacher, mentor, leader and will be missed.
Blessings and condolences to the entire family - I’ll be sure to keep him in my thoughts while sitting in the blueberry patch.

Gaff and bluff are separate and distinct words, until they are united by another word, Topsail. Today, I stand looking at Topsail bluff, a formidable 600 foot cliff overlooking Conception Bay. It's my home, but it's far from where I was born, Grand Falls. I believe Earl might have been born in Windsor, and later moved to Corner Brook. But, It is the Gaff Topsails he wishes to be his final resting place.
Earl and I were room mates our second year at Memorial. What emerged from that year was that I was a far better man for being up close to this shy, splendid man from Station Rd., Corner Brook.
My Topsail bluff remains, but I must journey inland to another Gaff Topsails, and pay a final tribute to my dear friend, Earl.

Vicki and family - my deepest condolences to you and your family. It was so sad to hear about Earl. He grew up down over the hill from our family on Humber Road. Earl, his brothers and sister were well know to us. My prayers are with you all and may your memories help you all through the coming days and weeks. God bless

Vicki and family, please accept our Condolences to you and Earl's family. Had the opportunity to complete my student teaching at G.A. Mercer in 1979 with Earl. He certainly was a low keyed, great mentor for a beginner teacher. Certainly hope he got the opportunity to eat the last Saltwwater Eider Duck that we gave him. Fly high Skipper!!!

Sending positive energy to you Victoria (Vicky)& and your immediate family.
I am remembering cousin Earl in the earlier days of wonderful visits of my family
to Earl's Mom's, my Aunt Nellie. My Dad & Earl's Dad, Uncle Martin, were best buddies.
We have a photo of them both "on the Gaff" in our family collage.
No surprise that Earl chose the Gaff for his final stop.
I'm also remembering all of Earl's brothers and sisters. Love to you all.

What a lovely tribute to an amazing man. “Mr. Pike” as I’ll always think of him) was such an incredibly kind, caring teacher and coach — he introduced many of us to our beloved sport of volleyball back in junior high, something that we held close to our hearts for so many years, along with friendships that continue well past our volleyball days. He was always able to bring a smile, lead us with encouragement and always showed how much he cared about us as young people. A great man who I’m sure will be sadly missed by his friends and family. Thinking of you and so very sorry for your loss.

My sincere sympathies to you all on the loss of a wonderful man. Mr. Pike was an excellent volleyball coach and mentor. He certainly sparked my love for sports. He was encouraging and he challenged me to be my best. I never could beat him at badminton though! I know he will surely be missed! Rest easy, Mr. Pike.

We fondly remember the golden boy in the Memorial days of our youth; so richly possessed of charming smiles and endearing warmth and personality. And then there was that easy and aw shucks manner in which he performed vastly superior athletic skills, always finished with his head bowed and offering a quiet, silent smile.
We extend to Vicky and family our deepest condolences.

Vicky,
Deepest condolences on Earl's passing. We cannot imagine your loss and grief. He was such a quiet man, but always with a smile and always so upbeat. So few have such an infectious personality that you remember them clearly long after you meet them, and Earl was such a man. His devotion to sport and students was legendary and so many young lives that he touched will also feel your loss. There must be so many wonderful memories and stories to share about a life well lived. Our thoughts are with you, your girls, and the entire Pike family.
Hughie & Elizabeth Butt

I'm so sorry for your loss - he was such a great mentor and coach. I remember driving to a volleyball tournament in mid-winter, past dark in a large van. He whistled while he drove, keeping us in high spirits, despite the darkness outside. I always remember that moment when life feels too dark - whistle, or crack a joke, and it doesn’t feel so bad. He had a heart big enough to protect everyone in his care. Sending peace and love to you and yours. ~Dawn

Vicki and family, So sorry to hear of Earls passing. He was an amazing coach and teacher. He devoted so much of his time to us kids through grades 7,8 and 9 at G.A Mercer Jr. High. Earl had a huge part in making those three years the best years of my schooling. He instilled in us, the importance of respect, good work ethic, team work and just having fun. He will be missed by all who’s lives he has touched. Please accept my sincere condolences.

So very sorry to hear of Earl's passing. Having taught with Earl as well as being on the opposite side in many volleyball tournaments, I can attest to his commitment to his school and the students in his charge. He always had a smile on his face and readily involved himself in the life of the school. He certainly touched many lives in a very positive way and will be missed.

Earl and I spent countless hours in all seasons exploring the entire Topsails Plateau after each of which we returned to our Gaff cabins for a get-together and several hands of 120’s. I especially enjoyed Earl’s countless stories of the area and his knowledge of the land, her history, and the importance of stewardship. Earl will be greatly missed.
Our condolences to Vicky and family.

Just heard the news of Mr. Pike’s passing. On behalf of myself and my family I would like to pass on our condolences and to simply say that we are so sorry for your loss.
He was a great teacher and coach and to say that I cherished the time under his mentorship would be an understatement! The amount of time he spent with us outside of the normal school day was immense. I will always be thankful for that time and energy.
Our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
