Mr. Early was born September 15, 1950 in Alexandria, Virginia to Herbert Monroe and Martha Lancaster Early.

He received a bachelor's degree in business administration from East Carolina University in 1968, and a master's degree in accounting from Virginia Commonwealth University. He was a CPA, working initially for Coopers & Lybrand, and then moved to finance, first at Ethyl Corporation and then at Tredegar Corporation.

Early Jr.; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
He will be most remembered for his unforgettable wit, his love of books and story telling, and for his extraordinary love for his children. He was most at peace with his friends and family in the natural beauty of Buggs Island Lake.
