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'
