Everett Rea, U.S. Navy veteran

Brother Rea, Upsilon’s last WWII veteran, passed to the Adytum on High in November at age 94. He and his brother, Ralph Rea who lives in Orange County, have been committed to the fraternity for 60 years through financial donations and moral support for the younger brothers. Everett served in the Navy during WWII and fought at Guadacanal, and he celebrated his life afterwards with trips to Ireland.
