We are just so, so sorry about the passing of Ev. He will be so missed by so many. We will always have such wonderful memories of him – a kind and gentle soul. A generous man, Ev had a wit about him that was like no other. He was a proud Hokie and the Hokie Nation has lost one of its best! We hold all of you in our hearts at this sad time. Love, Nancy and Age
WHEN I THINK OF ALL MY FRIENDS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, EVERETT TOPPED THE LIST. HIS PASSING LEAVES A HOLE THAT WILL BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL. ALTHOUGH JUNIOR TO ME BY MANY YEARS, HE WAS MY PEER, AND MORE, IN EVERY WAY. HIS EASY-GOING MANNER BELIED HIS KNOWLEDGE AND PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS WIFE AND FAMILY AND ALL WHO WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KNOW HIM. GOD BE WITH YOU YOUNG FRIEND.
I remember “Ev” as a splendid snare drummer with the VPI Regimental Band. We marched together on the VT football field and in many parades, including Richard Nixon’s inaugural in January 1969. He had a great sense of humor and a calm manner which made him a leader among his classmates. He will be greatly missed by all. My sincere condolences to his family.
Our loving memories are so very precious and will sustain us. Our loving Father has the power to heal your broken heart he will also give you the courage and strength to endure these very difficult times (Phil 4:6.7). Don’t be afraid, he is with you.
It has been years since we last saw Ev and Jan but still remember their love for each other and for their children. One vivid memory we have of Ev is him going out in Rehoboth Bay on a very, very foggy morning and calling for Mike to help him get his boat back to shore. We all chuckled over this for a long time. Ev was a special person and will be missed by all who were blessed to have known him.
At a friend’s recommendation, we met Mr. Callaway about four years ago as one of his clients. He was always listening to music and smiling when we saw him and was most willing to share his knowledge with us. Our condolences to his family and friends.
I was sad to hear of Everett’s passing as I have fond memories of him when we were Highty-Tighties together. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss and may God’s presence comfort you at this difficult time.
My heart aches for you. I’m sorry for “our” loss; Ev was a wonderful human being. You’re in my thoughts every step of the way. With deep sorrow I send my condolences and love.
May God continue to comfort all those who loved Mr. Callaway. We can all look forward to the time when death will be no more and instead of tears of sorrow there will be tears of joy. I know he will be missed by many. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
