Everett was a very gifted man , who loved working with computers, rebuilding homes and always thinking of what to do next. He never gave up fighting cancer even though it was not the cancer who took him from all of us. We all loved him with all our hearts. He now is in heaven looking down on all of us.
If he would be here with us, he would want to express his thank you to all our family and friends and especially to John his younger brother and his wife Joyce, to Denise and Gary, and to Dorothy our neighbor.
From his wife, he was a loving , caring husband, who will remain in my heart until I join him in heaven.
