"E.V., (as everyone called him) was a very hard-working man all of his life. He moved to California from Texas during the depression along with his family, and helped to settle his parents there along with his brothers and sisters. He was also an accomplished musician, and during the 1930's-1940's he had a radio program with some other fellows called "The Smokey Mountain Rangers" in the Sacramento Valley in California. They played western music, and EV sang and played guitar. That is where he met and married June Smothers...she sang on his show (as "Sweet Sue") and also played guitar. After enlisting in the Army during WWII, he came home and took up the welding profession, which he continued working at most of his life, in California and in Alaska. He never stopped playing the music he loved.
He was an open, honest man, who lived his life fully and loved and cared for his family through the years. He was well-loved, and is truly missed."
