Dear Judy,
Sorry to hear about Willie. I think of him when I see and wear the Music Box T shirt where he did the art work. His art work was humerous and always told the story.

Willie was simply one of the BEST!
I will always remember him bringing me a piece of candy after lunch. Many times when I was giving my daughter a lesson, on the practice tee, their was Willie and friends on the verandra. He would be rating her with numbers one through ten on her progress. I will miss Willie very much and love him dearly.

Willie was one of the first faces I saw when I started working at Velv. I knew at that point, that Willie would be a long time friend and co-worker. He was always good for a morning joke or a comforting hug. His artwork was second to none, and he could sketch something up at a blink of an eye. Many a time I would drive through town and see that license plate right it front of me (VELV), and say to myself, "hey, there's Willie!" - beep, beep. Thanks for the memories Will! I'll miss you!

Willie made the world a better place. He let himself be wholly known and inspired others to do the same. Warm, funny, unpredictable, a true artist, one-of-a-kind, he was the whole world's uncle...Uncle Willie, forever in our hearts!

I was so saddened to hear about Willie's passing. He did so much for my family with his great artist ability. He would come down to Bridgeport to where I teach and draw with my children. He loved all the kids. What a special person Willie was. My thoughts are with his family on your loss. Love, Erin Amaral

Our family is heartbroken today. Willy was one of the most extraordinary people I have ever known. He was a humorous, talented, and well-liked person who has done many favors for many people. As Dad once said, I don't think you'll ever find anyone who has a bad word to say about Willy Evans. For me personally, it is impossible to think of my days growing up without thinking of Willy. My first baseball glove, fishing pole, camping tent... the Yale football games, the NFL picks, Thanksgiving, talking about President Kennedy, my summer job at Velv. All of which I'm sure required a tremendous amount of patience on Willy's part. I have so many fond and enduring memories of Willy I wouldn't even know where to begin. My heart goes out to Judy, Peter, Allan, and the entire Evans family. I will miss him dearly.
Shalom Willy.
Love,
Kyle

Willy Evans was a real MENSCH...and he was the funniest man I have ever known. I spent so much time playing in his office growing up...I'm sure annoying him to no end. I can still hear him paging "Jim QUACKenbush" over the loudspeaker at work. Just to make me laugh. He is a legend in New Haven and his memory will live forever. What a gift it was to have known him....much love to the entire Evan's family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Haris

Dear Willie -
I can't believe you are gone - you were such an inspiration to me and you taught me so much during our time at Lender's. Your humor, your talent, your introduction to turkey, red pepper and russian dressing sandwiches, your Yale Game days will live forever in my memories. Judy,Allan, and Peter, my prayers are with you. Love, Cathleen Toomey, Exeter, New Hampshire
