from Mark Hughes: It was an incredible service yesterday for Gary. There was so much love for him.

He had so much going on and was loved by everybody.

Molly Moss comment: Everett had a wonderful voice and during the time I worked for him, he would always leave us a voice mail of him singing Happy Birthday on our birthdays. He was famous for the words "step around". You knew you were in trouble if he told you to "step around". He could strike fear in all of us with those two little words. During the time of typed memos, Everett could do some damage with his red pen. He expected us all to always do the very best we were capable of. I learned a lot during those years. |
