Dear Lucreta,

There are no words - only warm and heartfelt memories at a time like this. Between Mark always calling me by the wrong name and Everett's "Dr. Bachman" plaque hanging in my house, I don't know which one gave me more laughs . . . . . .you two were lucky to have one another for so many wonderful years . . . . I am certain Heaven will never quite be the same with Everett's arrival . . . .and I say that with a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye . . .

Dear Lucreta,
I was so sorry to hear about Everett's passing. But I will never forget all the hilarious stories about the dances you went to with my mom and dad at the firehall. The one that sticks out most is the time Everett got mom to "cuss" and then she wouldn't stop. He will always live on in our memories. Take care.

Thank you, Ev. I will be forever grateful to you for all of your kindness and support. You made a major impact in my life, my family's life, and in the lives of countless others who have played, and will play, baseball for the York Township Baseball Club. Most of whom never met you or even knew your name. You helped to establish the York Township Baseball Club and thus gave us all a place to play the game we love. Without you and your support on and off the field, I would never have been able to become the ballplayer I was or reached the goals that I attained. My life would have been very different without you. I owe you a huge debt of gratitude. I strive every day to emulate you, "Connie Mac," Duck Smith, Mr. Culbertson, and others who gave so much to local baseball. Our club, and our team, thanks you and wishes you and your family and friends peace. You will be missed. Godspeed.
