Everett was a gentle & kind man! He was a wonderful husband to my aunt June! He made a lot of memories of their camping days, pinochle card parties, & being there for her! I enjoyed many visits with them every time I came back to Mt Vernon! RIP Everett! My love always, Bev Chunka
We enjoyed Everett as He was faithful coming to our church services when we were having them at Hallmark. Ken and Donna McConaughy
I thought the name sounded familiar! When I got out of college I worked for LeFebure as an industrial engineer and met with Everett frequently. What he and his fellow “fabricators” did was nothing short of works of art. With just a few measurements, Everett and his crews would put together “customized” one of a kind cabinets that were used all of the United States in thousands of banks. Everett’s and his co-workers out put were totally unique. Not one was the same. Amazing skills were exhibited that were far too complicated for “industrial engineering” techniques to duplicate. Everett was an artisan in every sense of the word.
