He was born July 6, 1936 in Tahlequah, OK to John Roscoe and Bessie (Young) Adcock. Ewine attended Tahlequah public schools. He served in the US Army and was stationed in Korea.

Ewine worked for the Muskogee Iron Works, and was the manager of Arby's on Main Street when it first opened. He eventually worked at Jess Dunn and Eddie Warrior Correctional facilities from which he retired as head of the food services for both facilities. After retiring, he worked part time for many years at Green Country Lanes. Ewine affectionately known as "Big E", loved spending time with his kids, grandkids, and great-grands. He was very proud of each of them and loved to tell of their accomplishments and reveled in their visits. If you were lucky enough to be loved by Big E, it was the purest kind of unconditional love. He had the unique ability to look past your flaws and never bring them up again. After family, the next big love of Ewine's life was bowling. It was a passion that spanned 70 years. He was introduced to the 10 pin game by his brother who was a pin boy at Tahlequah lanes in the early 50's. Ewine's career really began however in the early 60's as he joined his first league. Over the years, Ewine bowled over a dozen perfect games, with 3 of those coming in a 24 hour period. He also loved to help anyone young or old with his knowledge and mentored many at the lanes. Ewine was inducted into the Muskogee Bowling Association Hall of Fame as one of his many accolades.
