Earle Edwin Yanowitz

Earle Edwin Yanowitz passed away peacefully at his home on July 17, 2026. Earle was pre-deceased by his Mother, Frieda (Emerman) Yanowitz, Father Hyman Yanowitz, and his Sisters Beverly Williams and Elynore Friedman. Earle was the beloved uncle of Andrea (Marsha Sanguinette), Bruce (Julie Goddard) and Julie Friedman, great uncle of Erika and Ian (Chloe) Craven, Corey Friedman, Oscar Sanguinette, Hannah (Rob Rintz) and Kyle (Raven) Friedman, and great, great uncle of Rowan Rintz.

Earle graduated from Cleveland Heights High School, attended The Ohio State University, and was a member of and honorably discharged from, the United States Army Reserves.

He loved his cats and his teams (Buckeyes, Cavs, Guardians and Browns), but most of all he loved his large family with whom he made great efforts to keep in touch.
