February 4, 2025 at 7:48 amI first met Everett in the 90’s, as a guest hunter with the Grenville Hunt Club. He was such a good man, and he immediately made me feel welcome and a part of the group. Everett Connell was an honorable and honest man, and soon became a very good friend to me and Judy. He was often a man of few words, but when he had something to say, he was open , honest, and calm. The closest description of Everett’s character I have is: Everett was just, A GOOD MAN, and he will be greatly missed! Until we meet again Everett, you will be missed.
