Just want you to know that Tom and I extend our sincere condolences to you and your family on this loss. My Mom passed the same week - the great memories are wonderful tributes. Take care and God Bless. Love, Joanne & Tom

    Everett was a friendof my parents, Irving and Marion Smith. He was the first non related adult that I recall being around our house. They danced together at Square Acres. Everett was probably the first adult to treat me as a human being, not just a kid.

    I work with Everett's son, Wayne, at the Middle School in East Bridgewater. All of us there love Wayne; he is such a caring, thoughtful person. God bless Everett for being the father of someone so special. Love and sympathy to his family. Susan Derby
