David H. Evett

To the Evett family, our deepest condolences. Ross, Alison and Marin

We will always remember our too-brief time with you, David.

I know he will be greatly missed by so many, but also know that he leaves his presence so greatly with so many as well.

To the entire Evett family, my deep condolences. I remember our younger days playing baseball by the sheep sheds near CMU.
