Died peacefully at his home in Minneapolis August 11th, 2007 of natural causes. He married Drexel Kay Weck of Slayton, MN in 1942. Together they traveled to several US air bases as he continued his flight training as well as playing for the 2nd Air Force Superbombers football team. On July 27th, 2007 the VanEvery's celebrated 65 years of marriage, where Harold entertained family and friends on the piano. A devoted husband, father and friend, a highly disciplined worker and role model to those around him, Harold led a truly amazing life, yet the word that would best describe him is "humble". He always made a point of telling people how lucky he was. Today, friends and family, all those whose lives he touched, feel they are the lucky ones for having known him. Harold was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.B. VanEvery and his sister, Dorothy. He is survived by his wife, Drexel; son, Dale (Josephine); daughter, Kay; and grandsons, David and Joshua. Funeral services were held at Washburn-McReavy Edina Chapel, 5000 West 50th Street, Edina, MN on Wed., Aug. 15th, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. Officiating was Reverend Peter Della Santina and Reverend Tim Diehl. Soloist was Dan Wickman. Accompanist was Karin Wickman. Pallbearers were David Buck, Joshua Denn, Robert Benson, Ed Bakker and members of the Minneapolis/St. Paul POW's.
