I am sorry to hear of Everette's passing. He was a very very special man and he sure was one of my favorites. Take comfort in knowing God has a special place in Heaven for him and his life now will be without suffering. My Prayers are with All of you.

To all of Everette’s Children: I am so sorry to know about Everette’s passing. He was a very kind and thoughtful man. He loved his country and his children. Everette came to Walcher Reunions in Kansas and it was a special time to visit with him. The last two times he drove from Decatur to Kansas and Sheryl and David came from Texas, how special it was for them to be together and with us. Everette and Christy shared family history and pictures with me for our Walcher database for which I have been very grateful. Sheryl and Christy I hope you will keep in touch with me.
