Richard Evers Obituary

Richard Evers, a long-time and active member of the Brattleboro community, died on August 7th, just a day following his 80th birthday.

Whether seen demonstrating for justice, swimming at the pool or Marlboro's South Pond, reading the paper in the Brooks Library, or shopping at the co-op and farmers market, Richard was a presence. His passion for the arts, music (especially playing his guitar), literature and the environment were lifelong. He was passionate, often expressing his views in letters-to-the-editor in the Brattleboro Reformer.

He is remembered lovingly by his siblings Katharine Kravetz, Robbie Kunreuther, Frances Kunreuther, and Elizabeth Kunreuther, as well as his nieces and nephews Julie Dougherty, Rachel Kravetz, Daniel Kravetz, Will Halpern and Paula Halpern.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Brooks Memorial Library (https://brookslibraryvt.org/) or the Middle East Children's Alliance (https://www.mecaforpeace.org/).
