You will always be remembered. My Father Raymond Kruszewski worked with you at McDonnell Douglas and always said you were living the dream. It was excitement when dad would say we are going to Evett's to get model planes and stuff. I stiff have Dad's model plane magazines and one stamped on the cover Evett's Model Shop from 1953. Still have many of the push button RC setups dad bought there. May god be with you and your family. You are truly missed.

First of all my condolences to the family, Colby is a part of so many people. I've been a patron of Evett's since the 50's as a kid. In the 80's when I wanted to build a Curtis C-46 model for my father (who flew them WWII) I went right to Colby. It is an extremely rare model and Colby had it, knew it and went right to the spot and pulled the box out. Rest in peace Colby.

I drove past Colby's shop last Friday. I pointed it out to a friend of mine who doesn't live in Santa Monica. I explained to him how I used to hang out there back in the late fifties early sixties.Colby Evett was a part of my teenage years.

Daddy...I am so Proud to be your Daughter.. I miss You so Much.. Thank You for making me the luckiest girl in the world..Fly high Daddy.. I know You are with me...Please kiss my Beautiful Mom for me!! Your Chatty Cathy XOXOXO
