So sorry to hear. I worked For him at Hancocks and he was such a good boss. I remember I painted a plaque for him. "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade". I sure liked him. May God be with you at this time.

Ev was the dearest friend and co- worker I ever had. When I first met him he scared me. I was told he was a really mean man, hard to get along with. He was a Teddy Bear. I love you Ev. You are always in my heart.
