He told many wonderful stories of his growing up in Goodrich, leaving home
during his teenage years to ride the railroad cars to the West for seasonal
labor jobs, harvesting wheat on his uncle’s farm in North Dakota, then picking
potatoes in Idaho, and picking apples in Washington. He proudly served in the US
Army as a surgical technician in hospitals in the China-Burma-India Theater in
World War II.
Following his marriage he enjoyed dairy farming in Goodrich and hauling milk.
Upon his retirement from farming, they moved to Medford. He was an avid
sportsman and especially enjoyed deer hunting. He enjoyed spending time at the
family cottage on the lake, traveling with their camper and later mobile home as
a couple, and often with the children and grandchildren. They enjoyed wintering
in Florida, Arizona, and Texas. Everett was a charter member of the Medford VFW.
