I don't think it would be appropriate to say Ev was hot, so I won't write that here, no indeed!  Maybe I could say he never seemed conceited, but he easily could have been!  Yeah, that sounds better!  On a more serious note, Ev's demeanor was enveloping; he drew you in, at first, of course, with those amazing steel blue eyes , but then even more with his warm, gentle approachability.  It always felt a little like he had his arm around you, even though he didn't.  It's hard to put someone's essence into words, but Ev had a certain something about him.  He was always willing to help others, he worked hard, he loved his family, and he taught all of us a lot.  He will continue to be missed.  Ironically, today is the 52nd year of my father's death.  The death of a loved one has an significant impact, especially on the family, but the life the loved one lived, has a greater impact on more than just the family. I hope that all that Ev gave and the way he lived continues to show itself in his children and in those he touched.  God Bless and much love, Rene'
