O. Earle Florence, 88, died March 7, 2020. He attended Iowa State before serving two years in the army and finished his education at the University of Michigan. In his professional career as an architect he designed many homes in the Western states, served on design review boards, did land planning, taught at ASU and was a prolific artist. His self taught drawing style focused on observation of life, not a mere glance at life but deep observance. His artwork was all from memory and imagination. Earle is survived by his wife, Donna (Peterson), a son, daughter, three grandsons and two great-grandchildren. Earle’s ashes will be scattered at a later date. (Source: Arizona Republic)
