Thomas Eversole Obituary

Great guy and great musician!!!

Tom was such a competent and gifted piano tuner. We always had such a nice conversations and he would play a few tunes when he was finished. I will miss him. My condolences to his family.

I just learned of Tom's death. I wanted to just say what a lovely man he was. My husband, Matt Veatch, and I hosted house concerts at our home on Massachusetts St from 2000 to 2010, and Tom would tune the piano anytime one of the musicians was planning to use our piano for a concert. The best part of a Tom Eversole piano tuning was the lovely mini-concert he would deliver at the end to convince himself that the piano was well and rightly tuned. My condolences to his family.

Tom took care of my mother's piano and later my own pianos. He was always a welcomed guest who brought a great smile and very congenial, enjoyable conversation. Piano tunings were looked forward to. He was highly skilled as a piano technician. My family and I, as well as many others, will miss Tom greatly.

Elizabeth, I am grieving the loss of your father who was my good boyhood and lifetime friend. We were schoolmates in K-12 and at Long Beach State College. We were in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts together. Mrs. Miles, who was Tommy's first piano teacher, lived just four houses down from me. The girl who later became my wife, Ruth, was in many band or orchestra classes with him.
In 1972 Ruth and I visited your father and mother in Lawrence. It was a very good, warm time together. Your father has always spoken so highly and lovingly of your mother to me. He was very, very proud of her! Later, he spoke the same of you as you grew up. He was so proud of you, Elizabeth.
The Tommy Eversole I knew was a good, kind, gentle man. I so enjoyed watching and listening to him play at the piano or keyboard, We had a good talk on the phone just three weeks before he passed. I am thankful for that time.
Elizabeth, may God bless you with Love, Joy, and Peace as you cherish the memory of your father and mother.

I am most sorry to read that Tom has passed. He was always so kind to me and we had such a good relationship and I admired him for all the years that we were friends. I will miss him! Stay strong in his memory Elizabeth Ann.

Elizabeth, I was a high school buddy to Tom from 3rd grade thru 12th. Didnt see him again till 2010 when I found him and our four other buddies. We had a wonderful time and Tom was the same in 2010 as he was in1962. A genuine kind man. I will miss him. I would drive to Stillwater on occasion to visit with him.

nly ever heard wonderful comments about the work your dad did , Elizabeth. I offer my prayers and sympathy for the loss of your loving father. May your warm memories of him give you peace in heart and mind.

I was fortunate to have Mr. Eversole tune my piano three different times since I have been in Lawrence. He was brilliant. I will miss his dedication and wonderful ear for music. My condolences to the family.

Tom was such a nice gentle person. He was a very good musician as well. I worked many band gigs with him and was one of my favorite musicians. Tom was always smiling and loved a good joke or story. My thoughts are with Tom's family. He will be missed.

My favorite memory of Tom was him pulling up in his newly purchased, yet nearly antique, orange Corvette. Watching him get out and having to put his hands on the ground to slide out of the low-slung car is a fond memory. His childish glee at his new purchase brings a smile.

Sending love and comfort to you, Elizabeth, and to your entire family. Tom made such an impact on my life and work. He always had time to listen and to share a story or a laugh as he did his work for us at The Music Clubhouse. He will always hold such a dear place in my heart. Janet Hart
