Sealing child to parents who are sealed, but father shows as not endowed
In looking at the records of one couple, it shows that the wife is endowed and the husband is not. However, they have been sealed. If I have a son endowed and ready to be sealed to those parents, can I do that, or should the father's endowment be recorded first? (I have no idea how they got sealed if he wasn't endowed. Our family did the baptism, confirmations, and initiatories for both parents, but then only did the endowment for the mother. Someone else did the sealing, as it was done in a different temple.)
The husband/father is Ralph Peter Dapper LKKC-JS1. The son is Earle Richard Dapper LKKC-F7N. Earle was married to my aunt but died young. They had no children and although she remarried, she never had children. She has passed away and I'm doing the work.

Short Answer: 'Yes', you can "Seal" the Child. to his Parents, regardless of the 'Status', of the Work for the Patents.
As, that Work, is FOR the Child.
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':
Correct order of temple ordinances
https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/correct-order-of-temple-ordinances
Where, it states, among other things:

------------------
It is preferred that sealings be done after individual ordinances, but it is not required. Family Tree does not enforce the order of sealings for deceased persons. A deceased couple can be sealed before their individual ordinances are done. Likewise, a deceased child can be sealed to deceased parents before the parents are sealed and before the parents’ individual ordinances are done.
