Joan I was there at the library the day that Everett went to the doctor for the tests. I will never forget that day he was so strong and showing me his genealogy information that he collected. Everett will truely be missed he was such a wealth of information and told me things that helped me with my research from the classes I went that he had, to seeing him at the library had to talk to him. He will truely be missed in my heart.

Dear Joan: I just found out about your loss of Everett when I went to the library today. He will be truly missed. One of his legacies is the great deal of effort he put into genealogy work. My sympathies.

Just a few of the wonderful things I remember about Mr. Huff:

* He gave me rides home from college, even though it was really out of his way, and once we once got a little lost, and he just never once got the least bit miffed. To this day, whenver I'm on I-88, I think of him.

* Mr. Huff enjoyed showing me his antiques and military collection. He didn't just show them to me, he took me for walks down the hallway, talked about the history of each one and what they meant to him. He really wanted me to appreciate the value of these things that were special to him; and, I do.

* Mr. Huff was so thoughtful and kind to me. He always made me feel like I belonged whenever I was with him and the Huff family.

I'll truly miss him, and my heart hurts for Mrs. Huff, Joanna, Pete, Matt, Robin & Vickie & Vini, and all the kids, all of whom I've grown to adore in the last 20 years.

Jeff, Matthew, my parents, Milt & Judi, and I are so terribly sorry. Sending you all our condolences, our love, and our support. Please know that we're here whenever you need us.

All my love,
-- Hilary (and Jeff & Matty & Family)

The final stanza of the Navy hymn in Ev's honor:
"O Trinity of love and power,
all travelers guard in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go;
thus evermore shall rise to thee glad praise from air and land and sea."
