Everett was the eldest of nine children and grew up on the family farm. He attended grade school in the Township of Ironton and graduated from high school in Reedsburg in 1951. After high school, Everett worked at Badger Ordinance Powder Plant until he was drafted into the U.S. Army from 1952 to 1955.

I just got word of Everett's passing. I am shocked and will miss him terribly. He always was supportive of the Corvairs I restored and was a big help in finding and selling me parts over the years. I always felt privileged when he let me into the basement to look at parts with him. My sincere condolences to his wife Darlene and his family. Everett was a real peach on the Corvair community. Godspeed, Everett!

Everett with his Monarch Motors is one of the major reasons I've had at least one Corvair since I was 14 years old. Thanks to Everett's good supply of parts and advice I kept my fleet of Corvairs running. I was honored when he and Tom Seversin asked me to join the re-formed CCCC in Madison. Many fond memories of all the subsequent club events my wife Beth and I attended with Darlene and Everett. Beth and I will miss you, sure are glad to have known you.
