He was known to me as "Mr. Sylvester" when I was a child. I remember when he worked at the Putnam Aquarium. I would go there to see the fish, but the main reason for going there was, that there was a gumball machine by the front door. Mr. Sylvester would always dig into his pockets and give me a penny or two so I could get a gumball. He was so generous! As an adult, I had the pleasure of working with Everett at the American Optical Company. I asked him if he remembered me and he said,"yes". He said that all the neighborhood kids had done the same thing. Everett was great to work with. He always had a joke or two and a smile on his face. I often thought after all those years, he hadn't changed a bit. It is with warm memories that I will remember him. My deepest sympathy to his family.</b></font><br><br>
