To all the McEvoy family;
I also remember those days, early in our careers, at Pleasants. Claiborne made a visit several years ago, while I was still working, and we talked about those "good old days." It was a pleasure working with him, and a shock to learn of his passing. We will keep all of the family in our prayers during this difficult time. May God bless you all.

On behalf of the Benedictine High School community, we are very sorry to hear of Mr, McEvoy's passing. His family will be in our prayers. We will fly the American flag at half-staff and place a ribbon on his photo in the main hallway to honor his memory.

Respectfully,

Tom Lukish Jr. `76

You were there 41 years ago when Joanne and I were married.Although we only saw each other a couple times since then we often wondered how you were doing and where you and Marcia were living. The last time we met You were living in Florida.I still remember chasing each other around Pleasants HARDWARE with those cattle prods. Those were the days! May GOD bless and keep you until we meet again.
