He was always upbeat and looking for the funny side of things. For years he was a senior designer and supervisor at Lenkurt Electric, a division of GTE. For a time he was an inspector of cell towers, meaning he climbed 100-300 ft towers to inspect them. Always over 200lbs, imagine a man of his bulk climbing a 200 ft tower. But those were just jobs. He was an Artist and humorist all his life. He created novel artworks using straight lines that tricked the eye into seeing curved images. He created characters of lady bicyclists, cartoon commentaries of flying geese, and towns embellished with lights and style that could only be considered 19th Century modern. Everett was an original, a unique person and I will forever miss his jovial outlook, personality and the times we laughed our selves silly.view less
