Severt’s primary occupations involved his expertise as a machinist. Working at Boeing, eventually rising to the level of inspector.
He was fond of the instrumental music produced by acoustical and electric guitar, autoharp, and banjo; he owned many recordings that brought him great enjoyment. He often would pick up a guitar and play, mainly for his own pleasure.
Attendance at the annual WWII Farragut Naval Training Station National Reunion in Bayview, ID, was a special occasion each year. His last, of many, he attended September 2014.
Membership in the Nash Car Club of America and the Ford Car Club afforded him a wealth of new friends -- people of like minds. Anyone one who knew Severt knew about his Nash “fanaticism”.
Severt had many relatives, friends, memories, and activities he enjoyed in South Dakota -- visiting there as often as he could.
He is survived by his four children, Dean, Rod, Jay, Carla; six grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; brother Nels, and sister Marilyn; many nieces and nephews.
