John S.
Everall, Jr.
died at the
Glens Falls
Hospital on
7/10/09
after a long
battle with
Polycystic
Kidney
disease. He
was 54 years
old and a
Vietnam
veteran. He
was the
oldest son
of the late
Elsie and
John Everall
Sr. of
Cambridge
NY.
John is
survived by
his five
children:
Charity,
Faith and
John Sydney
Everall III
of St.
Joseph, MO
and Shawn
and Kayla
Everall of
Rutland,
VT., and at
last count
17
grandchildren.
He is also
survived by
his
siblings:
Susan Gero
and Dorothy
McCully of
Warner
Robins, GA.
and George
Everall,
Paulie West
and husband
Lee West of
Salem, NY.
John also
had nieces
and nephews
in NY, VT,
NV and GA
whom he was
very close
with.
Anyone
who knew
John will
tell you
that loved
his children
and family
most, but
coming in
close behind
them would
be his dog
Rug, his
motorcycle,
gardening
and brewing
homemade
wines and
beer.
John had
become a
master
gardener. He
was able to
grow turkey
sized
butternut
squash that
he was quite
proud of. He
had a
picture he
of a squash
that was
bigger than
his
grandchild.
He loved to
show this
photo to
everyone.
One
Thanksgiving
he stuffed a
huge squash
and it was
so big that
his family
ate that as
the main
course
instead of a
turkey. He
shared the
bounty each
year from
his garden
with family
and friends
so they
could enjoy
his organic
grown
vegetables.
John
belonged to
the
Cambridge
Rod and Gun
Club. He was
an avid
rifleman and
believed
that all
Americans
should have
the right to
bear arms.
He built his
motorcycle
"the Wizard"
from the
ground by
himself. On
a good day
to John was
able to have
friends and
family join
him on an
outing to
the range
and shoot
off a couple
hundred
rounds, go
for a nice
long
motorcycle
ride and end
up back at
his place to
have a BBQ
with a huge
bonfire for
the evening.
He had a
very upbeat
personality
and
forthright
opinions. He
will be
missed by
all whom
knew him.
In lieu
of flowers,
his children
and family
would like
any
donations to
be given in
John’s name

Polycystic
Kidney
