Lawrence H. Evert
Lawrence H. Evert, “Butch” age 81 of Hinckley, Ohio passed away peacefully on Thursday,
October 7, 2021, surrounded by family. He was born May 6, 1940, in East Cleveland, Ohio to
Lawrence Otto Evert and Lillian Barbara Evert. He is survived by his three children: Laura Jane
Evert, Tina Kim Evert, and Lawrence Gage Evert, his sister Sandy Snow, his brother Roger Evert,
as well as many nieces, nephews, and life-long friends.
He was a devoted Father, generous brother, and loyal friend. He enjoyed working outside on his
property, reading, and spending time with family. He served in the United States Air Force from
1958-1963 as a radio repair technician with an honorable discharge as an Airman First Class/E-4
with his last duty station being Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas Nevada. Larry’s extremely hard
work ethic and attention to detail followed him in his civilian career. As a skilled
communications technician, he had a long career with the Ohio phone company where he
worked tirelessly to support his family and was revered by his colleagues.
Larry’s legacy will continue on through everyone he influenced throughout his prosperous life.
He will be loved and missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in peace Larry, we thank God for
the time you graced us with your presence.

Our sympathy to all.
We have many great memories of Uncle Butch and we will miss him.
I first met Larry when my tech center closed and the company moved me to the Independence telephone central office. I’d never worked carrier systems before. Larry made time in his work day to teach me what I needed to know to get on board. From that time Larry became more than a coworker, we became friends. We worked together, shared our ideas and thoughts about how best to get the job done. When Larry retired, we would get together on Wednesdays over coffee and discuss just about anything, family, sports, politics, etc. After I retired we continued meeting every Wednesday over coffee, shooting the breeze (like us old guys do). Larry was a nice guy. He was there to help someone when they needed a hand. I have seen coworkers call him for help and he’d stop what he was doing and talk them though the problem. Everyone who really knew Larry liked and respected him. I am fortunate to have known him and blessed to have had him as a friend. I will miss him, but I will never forget Larry, my good friend.
