Everett was a hard working, jack-of-all-trades, and could often be found tinkering in his garage. If something was broke, Everett would fix it. If Everett didn’t have something he needed, he would build it. This showed through in the various careers Everett had over the years, including Hillyards Chemical Co. as a maintenance electrician while also working part-time as an appliance repairman and then as a mudjacker for Bradley Concrete.
Everett enjoyed fishing, hunting, and spending time with his grandchildren. Everett also enjoyed playing cards, horseshoes, and other games with friends, family, and neighbors.
