Not sure what to say?

I enjoyed sitting behind Everette in church for a number of years. I missed being with my dad in his last years, but as I watched the love and care that Everette got from his son and daughter-in-law I was comforted. He was indeed blessed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I will always remember our family times at the cabin on Cobbs Creek. Uncle Red always told the best stories. His ghost stories were the best and they scared us kids to death! He was a loving, caring uncle. We will all miss him very much. Brett

I am so sorry for your loss, but so pleased that you had your father for such a huge part of your life. I know that all of you are feeling the loss that only comes from a deep love. Catie Leicester

Steelman,Arliss and Family, Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up on Queen Street (New Market Rd) with the Ketchums.
Take Care, Betty Freeman Cooper

Everette Steelman Ketchum, Sr. (I knew him as Red) was a wonderful neighbor and friend, as was the whole family including his brother Pap. Mr. Ketchuman' s son (Steelman) was my best friend growing up
on W. Queen St. I think of the Ketchum family often. Whenever I think
of the folks who lived on W. Queen St., Hampton the Ketchum family comes to mind. Mr. Ketchum will be greatly missed.
My prayer is that the Lord will give you Peace.
