Everett Franklin Gile Jr. of Industry, Maine, passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2018, in Hernando, Fla.
Born June 12, 1931, in North Conway, N.H., to Everett Franklin Gile Sr. and Harriet (Merrill) Gile. He attended A. Crosby Kennett High School in North Conway and studied mechanical engineering at the University of California, Irvine Calif.
A Navy veteran of the Korean War era, he served on the USS LST 503 in the Mediterranean and Caribbean as an Engineman 3rd Class. He and his shipmates enjoyed their shore leave by touring southern Europe and Morocco. He was a member of the American Legion, Roderick-Crosby Post 28 in Farmington, Maine.
He worked as a master machinist in California and New Hampshire until his retirement in 1996. He was proudest of his work on the heart valve and the dialysis machine at Edwards Labs in California. He worked as a moldmaker, tool and die maker and machinist at different times for Norden, Uni-cast, Cambion, Midland Ross and Rockwell Automation.
In elementary school in North Conway, he was one of the first students who learned to ski from Johann "Hannes" Schneider. He continued to enjoy skiing for many years.
He was a life member of the NRA and certified practical pistol instructor. He enjoyed shooting sports, but his love was cowboy action shooting. He was a member of both the White Mountain Regulators and the Pemi Valley Peacemakers both of New Hampshire. He competed in shoots in New England and the Southwest, including End of Trail, the world championship of cowboy action shooting in New Mexico.
While living in California, he was active in the Big Brother Program. Upon retirement in Maine, he was a member of the Clearwater Lake Improvement Association in Industry and an active member of the Wilton Fish & Game in Wilton, Maine.
An avid hunter, he was once the youngest licensed guide in New Hampshire. He was very pleased that his son, Jon, and daughter, Nancy, as well as his two stepsons, Kraig and Kirk, are hunters and love the outdoors as he did. Everett also enjoyed competing in the motorcycle sports of motocross and hill climbing. In later years, he just enjoyed touring on his bike.
Everett, his good friends Herbie Parlin and Craig Schuler, loosely formed Codger Construction doing many volunteer projects in the town of Industry. They rebuilt the bridge over the spillway at Clearwater Lake. They also worked on the gazebo, the docks and the "outhouse" at the foot of the lake. Always ready to lend a hand on a project, he was known as "the man who could fix anything."
He is predeceased by his parents, his brother, Kenneth Earl Gile; his first wife, Ivy Eaton Gile; and his son, David Everett Gile.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Carol (Paulson) Gile.
A graveside service will be held Saturday June 16th at 11am at the North Conway Cemetery in North Conway.
