He was born on February 4, 1922 in Little Chute, WI, to the late John and Minnie (Hietpas) Evers. He served his country, in the South Pacific, as an amphibious tank operator from 1942 - 1946. After returning, he worked for Kimberly Clark (Midetc), retiring in 1984 after 38 years with the company. On June 24, 1952 Hank married Adriana (Ada) Bolwerk, enjoying 62 years together. He enjoyed gardening, bowling, watching sports on TV, and was always ready for a good game of sheepshead. Hank also looked forward to the fall so he could pick, clean, and share hickory nuts with family and friends. But most important to him was family, and he looked forward to the annual reunions, spending a whole weekend with his children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren. Hank was a loyal member of St. Paul's Catholic Church, Combined Locks, the Catholic Order of Foresters, and a 69 year member of the American Legion Post #258, Little Chute.

He is also survived by brothers and sisters: Delia Joosten, George (Celeste) Evers, Tony (Lorayne) Evers, Whitey (Peggy) Evers, Katy (Raymond) Brockman, and Donald Evers; sister-in-law, Rosalie Evers and brother-in-law, Ronald Beattie. He is further survived by Ada's family: Sally Bolwerk, John Bolwerk, Henry (Mary) Bolwerk, Robert Bolwerk (special friend Marge Wippich), George (Barbara) Bolwerk, and many nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers: Ed (Vi) Evers, Ray (Del) Evers, and Gordon Evers; sister, Mary Ann Beattie, and in-laws, Elaine Evers and Martin Joosten. He is further preceded in death by Ada's parents, George and Marie (Van Cuyk) Bolwerk, sister, Gertrude (Vincent) Gloudemans, brother, Bill Bolwerk and sister-in-laws, Helen Bolwerk and Florence Bolwerk. The mass of Christian Burial will be on Thursday, February 5, 2015 at 11:00 a.m., at St. Paul's Catholic Church, 410 Wallace Street, Combined Locks, with Msgr. John Schuh and Fr.
