Evered Leon Trask, 74, of Boothbay Harbor, died July 22 at St. Andrews Hospital in Boothbay Harbor. He was born Nov. 25, 1937 at his family home on Lobster Cove to Everett Leon Trask and Carrie Hallowell Trask.
He attended the East Side Grammar School and was a graduate of Boothbay Harbor High School in the class of 1955. Evered had a keen interest in the region’s history, particularly family genealogy, which he willingly shared with all who would listen.
A lifelong lobsterman, Evered enjoyed supplementing his income in his retirement by collecting returnable bottles and cans, making many friends on his daily walks accompanied by his faithful dog, Blueberry.
Before Romar Bowling Lanes was mechanized, as a boy, Evered was employed setting the bowling pins while he was in high school. He worked on his parents’ lobster boat until he took over the boat after his mother’s death and his father’s retirement.
During the past year, he resided in a comfortable apartment in the former Brian Rowe’s Store provided by Pam and Alan Burke. Evered valued the Catholic Church lunches and took great pleasure in sharing the many cards, calls, and visits he received from friends far and wide.
He was preceded in death by a twin brother who died at birth; and beloved wife, Caroll, who died in 1995.
He is survived by his cousins, Alice Trask Fossett and Evelyn Trask Racz; aunt, Cynthia Hallowell Orne, all of Boothbay Harbor, and their families.
