During his growing up years, he attended the Little Neck Community Church, attending Sunday School, youth group and being confirmed in the church with a large group of friends in 1945. It just so happened there was a redheaded 15 year old girl named Diane that had her eye on him and so - the romance began and didn't end - 70 years of being in love.
Ev's grandparents were always at the center of his life growing up. He learned gardening, boating and fishing and developed a love and respect for the sea and a passion for caring for his homes.

He returned home to marry his childhood sweetheart Diane Dallon. From 1951 until his retirement in 1995 Ev was with GTE Sylvania-Philips ECG. He began his career marketing Television Tubes and retired as National Sales & Marketing Manager, During those 41 years, Di and Ev raised and relocated their girls between N.Y, Conn.,GA, and Mass., achieving his goal of providing for his family and teaching them strong integrity and values. Throughout his life he enjoyed boating, fishing, traveling, photography, reading the newspaper and spending time with his wife and family.
