He passed away on June 29, 1992 in Holyoke at the age of 57. As Everett grew the family was joined by a sister Mildred, a brother Leonard and an orphaned cousin, Donnie Karraker. Everett (often called Oscar) spent his childhood in the sandhills 22 miles southeast of Holyoke. He graduated from Fairview School District No. 1 (the same one-room school that his dad attended) and on May 17, 1953 he graduated from Phillips County High School in Holyoke. After graduation, Everett continued to live at home and farm with his dad until he was called to serve his country during the Korean conflict. He was glad he was a farm boy who knew how to drive a truck. At least he didn't have to sleep in the trenches. After his discharge from the Army, Everett returned to Holyoke and the community he loved. On October 14, 1967, Everett was united in marriage with Louise Stoermer. They made their home in Holyoke except for a few years in Denver and Sterling. Everett and Louise would have been married 25 years this October. Everett was always very close to his dad and spent many hours visiting with him and discussing things. He felt a tremendous loss when Harold passed on in 1985. Everett continued to be a devoted son to his mother from that time on. He stopped in for coffee and to visit at least once and sometimes twice a day. He was always there to give her a helping hand or to take her out for a ride. He also frequently dropped in to visit his Aunt Della. Everett was a good friend to all the people of the community. He was always ready and willing to help the farmers who needed a truck driver or help for the day or longer. Everett loved to talk about loads he hauled and crops he helped to plant and to harvest. When Everett wasn't helping local farmers, you could find him beside his 1936 Ford Sedan Delivery or one of his other classic cars that he was restoring. He loved to restore these cars and was known and respected at the area car shows. He and his brother Leonard had a special camaraderie when it came to restoring old cars. Everett's love for old cars began while he was quite young. The family has often retold the story about Everett and Donnie driving home from school in the old Model "A." Everett was driving and Donnie was being a "backseat driver." Everett asked Donnie if he wanted to drive and removed the steering wheel from the steering column and handed it to him. Needless to say, the Model "A" headed for the ditch and before Everett could put the steering wheel back on the steering column, the Model "A" was stuck in the ditch and they had to walk home and get Harold to pull them out. Everett was dearly loved by his nieces and nephews. His sister, his cousins and his nieces and nephews still recall the playful grin he always had when he teased them - something he did a lot. Everett and his cousin Dean Poe were like twins growing up. They were always together - a close relationship that lasted a lifetime. Everett was a kind man who always had the time to sit and listen and genuinely cared about his family, friends and neighbors. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. Everett was preceded in death by his father Harold. Survivors include his wife Louise Walgren of Holyoke; mother Maudie Walgren of Holyoke; sister Millie Mueller and husband Duane of Sterling; brother Leonard Walgren and wife Judy of LaJunta; eight nieces and one nephew; and numerous other relatives. Services were held Thursday, July 2, 1992 at the First Christian Church in Holyoke with Jim Oliphant officiating. Interment followed at Holyoke Memorial Park.
