Des Moines Register
January 25,Dr. Everett Gerrish, age 90, of Grinnell, died on Sunday, January 22, 2017, at Grinnell Regional Medical Center with his family by his side.
Everett Elmer Gerrish was born the son of Elmer Clyde Gerrish and Edna Woodward Gerrish on October 2, 1926, in Auburn, Maine, where he was also raised and educated. Upon graduating from Edward Little High School in 1945, he immediately left to serve in the United States Army Air Corps as a Private First Class during World War II from 1945 until 1946. He received his BA degree in Botany from the University of Maine in 1950. To further his education, he moved to St. Paul, where he received his master's and doctorate degrees in Plant Genetics from the University of Minnesota in 1956.
While attending the University of Minnesota, he met "the long-haired girl" and love of his life, Verna Mae Dalluge, who worked in the research office. They were united in marriage on June 13, 1953, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, MN. In November of 1956, the couple moved to Grinnell, IA, where they were blessed with three children: Audrey, Bradley, and Wendy.
Everett began his lifelong career of 37 years in Grinnell as a plant geneticist with Cargill, Inc. His principle goal was to develop new corn hybrids that blended Midwest dent with tropical strains, enabling the production of corn in parts of the world where it wasn't previously possible. This work took him all over the globe as he served as International Liaison of Seed until retiring in 1993. He remained a consultant for Cargill's foreign research programs for several years thereafter. A Cargill owner who spoke at Everett's retirement credited him with helping to feed the hungry in the third world populous through his life's work. His name is also included in Who's Who of American Scientists.
Everett was a loving family man and devoted supporter of all of his kids' activities. He was very passionate about fitness and running long before it became commonplace. His love of track and field drew him to the Drake Relays every year since 1968. From childhood in central Maine onward, life enjoyments included fishing, boating, hiking, and taking in all the beauty of the great outdoors. Everett was an avid reader and his writing skills bloomed into poetry; several of his poems have been published in Lyrical Iowa and papers near his hometown in Maine. His inventive side revealed itself by fashioning his own improved versions of snowshoes, ice fishing traps and sleds, numerous bird houses, and a unique and delicious corn-based brew. Everett will be remembered for the love he gave to his family, for the teachings instilled, for being a nature enthusiast, and for his earthy sense of humor.
Everett is survived by his wife of 63 years, Verna M. Gerrish of Grinnell; two daughters, Audrey Wessling of Minneapolis, MN, and Wendy Gerrish of Urbandale, IA; son, Brad Gerrish of Omaha, NE; two granddaughters, Molly Wessling of Minneapolis, and Erin Wessling of Leipzig, Germany; niece, Arlyn (Forrest Foreman) Weeks of Scarborough, ME; and nephew, Jonathan (Cathy) Weeks of Waterville, ME.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Evelyn Weeks; and his aunt, Grace Gerrish.

March 30, 2016Steven "Steve" George Field, 76, of Prescott, Arizona, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on March 19, 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Steve was born July 23, 1939 in Denver, Colo. to parents Pete and Jean Field, who preceded him in death. Steve spent his early childhood in Middle Park near Kremmling, Colo. on the family ranch. After a brief time in Prairie City, Ore., he and his family moved to the Gunnison area in 1948 and were ranchers on Quartz Creek between Parlin and Ohio City, raising registered Hereford cattle. During this time, Steve attended grade school in Ohio City, Doyleville, and Parlin, and had many fond memories of time spent in these "one-room" schoolhouses. He was also very active in the Gunnison County 4-H program throughout his early years. Steve graduated from Gunnison High School in 1957, and married Kay Williamson in 1958. Following high school, Steve graduated from Colorado State University, where he studied Animal Husbandry and also obtained his private pilot certificate. After college, Steve and Kay returned to the family ranch on Quartz Creek. There he worked alongside his parents and brother, Dave, and raised three children, Randy, Rob, and Kelli.
He also continued to develop his pilot experience during this time, operating out of the Gunnison airport. Upon the sale of the family ranch, Steve attended Western State College and earned a Master's Degree in Education. He was then hired by the Gunnison School District and taught 5th grade at Blackstock and Lake Elementary schools from 1969 until 1989. His former students still talk about building model rockets during class, as well as having the opportunity to take flying field trips, which were Steve's way of introducing young people to aviation. During this time, he also owned and operated the Mousetrap Cheese and Sandwich Shop, a former local favorite, and started his own flight training school at the Gunnison airport.
Steve married Beverly Herrick in 1987 and they relocated to Prescott, Ariz. in 1989, where he was employed by Embry- Riddle Aeronautical University until retiring in 2004. Since their retirement, Steve and Beverly have spent the summers touring the United States in their RV and always managed to spend several weeks "at home" in Gunnison reconnecting with friends and relatives, attending Cattlemen's Days and class reunions, and enjoying Gunnison summers in general.
In addition to his wife, Beverly, of Prescott, Ariz., Steve is survived by brother Dave Field of Phoenix, Ariz.; sons Randy (Shannon) Field of Creede, Colo.; and Rob (Deborah) Field of Napa, Calif.; daughter Kelli of Kilauea, Hawaii; stepdaughters Toni (Alex) Ware of Colorado Springs and Susi (Greg) Arthur of Cumming, Ga.; and stepson Mike Herrick (Carly Hines) of Penrose, Colo. Steve is also survived by grandchildren Amanda Field (Dave Foster) of Craig, Colo.; Ana (Vince) Morrow of Napa, Calif.; Blane Mazzuca of Gunnison; Steve Mazzuca (Amy Silvernale) of Craig, Colo.; Kasha (Jon) Williams of Salado, Texas; Tyson Herrick of Sterling, Colo.; Trevor Herrick of Broken Bow, Neb.; and James Arthur of Cumming, Ga. Great grandchildren include Willow, Wylie, and Winston Williams of Salado, Texas. Additional survivors include brother/sister-in-law Glenn and Melva George of Gunnison and numerous cousins.
