Tina, I was so sorry to read of your dad’s passing. My sincere condolences to you, your mom and all the Eveler family. I hope all the wonderful memories of your dad bring peace and comfort in the days ahead.
My deepest sympathy to Laverne and the family. I worked with Mark many years at the Patrol and always enjoyed his sense of humor. He was quite a guy!
Donna,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Laverne my deepest sympathy to you and yr family. We had hoped to get to the visitation but our appt at the VA got us home too late. Prayers for all of you.
Growing up in Wardsville was such a blessing in so many ways. The Lions Club was the anchor of activities and playing softball was the highlight of my week! Your Dad and Mr. Wieburg were our coaches and oh, the fun we had! I have nothing but the fondest memories of those days!!! He was kind, positive, funny and so tolerant of all of us! Patience must have been his virtue. Thank you Donna and Tina for sharing your Dad. I enjoyed every minute with him and the wonderful softball team they created. I cherish those days more than you know, when life was slower and not so hectic and complicated. Celebrate his life well lived. All my best to you and your families as you navigate your next chapter without him.
