REST IN PEACE GREAT MEMORIES OF YOU AS A LITTLE GIRL AT YOUR STORE INGALLIPOLIS WITH MY GRANDMOTHER THELMA PERSINGER

Our prayers go out to each and every one of the family.
I grew up in Gallipolis and it would be a huge understatement to mention the impact he had on ALL of our lives.
He was an icon that let all of us believe we could come from nowhere and end up anywhere we wanted to be.
Rest in peace.

Dear Jewel and family,
I remember the days when you and Bob would come to my parents house to get Christmas Trees. Bob and dad, Emmett Conway, would go to the Tree Farm and you and mom would chew the fat waiting for them to return. Then it was pie and coffee before you were off. I happened to be home for one of those visits. Mom and dad send their sympathies. They live at Heartland of Chillicothe and are together in the same room. Dad was especially saddened to hear of Bob's death and he recalled tromping around The Farm and up Raccoon Creek to the Boone Cave where he found a peuter button. Only a British Soldier would have one of those, not Daniel Boone. He recalled the meetings on the Farm and of course all our family gatherings there over a delicious meal. Memories are wonderful and I hope they fill your heart as time passes. Sincerely, Carol Jean Conway Yegerlehner

To the family of Bob Evans!
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We have enjoyed your sausage and gravy more than you will ever know. I've also had the privilege of corresponding with your family indirectly while my son is a wounded marine from Ohio and Bob and his family has supported him. You're truly a stand up family and I'm sure Bob will find a way to keep his eye on all of those kitchens. It's his nature and that's what makes us all so proud. Our love from ours to yours. Thank you for all you've brought us.

It is so sad to hear of the passing of our dear Bob Evans. His idea for those sausages was excellent, truly the best sausage on the market. I am sure that it will never taste the same. Please accept my condolences, and may the you draw stregnth from knowing that Jesus resurected some when walked the face of the earth. Now as a King in the heavens, he will with Gods direction do it again. Look forward to that day with a smile knowing that you may be able to see Bob again. John 5:28,29

Born and raised in northern Ohio, on the shores of Lake Erie, I remember all the times that I and my late father spent together in a Bob Evans restuarant. In a way, Bob brought us closer together. Gods' speed Bob, and may the Lord look down kindly and bless your family. You will be forever missed!

Jewell, I am saddened to read of Bob's death and send my sympathy. I still remember the Ohio visit in the early '50s and all that you and Bob did to make that memorable for Ray and me. And, how the kids laughed when I said "over yonder"!([email protected])

Just about everyone who has lived in the Midwest has eaten at a Bob Evans restaurant. Where I lived until two years ago in Pontoon Beach, Illinois was a Bob evans Restaurant in Collinsville, Illinois. I'd drive down that street many times in the course of a week and i believe there was never under twenty cars in that parking lot of the restaurant. Now that I live in Upstate, N.Y. I miss going there. Everything was always fresh and served by a courteous wait person. Mr. Evans was right in insisting that the sausage be only the best for his restaurants.
Bob Evans death must be very hard to bear for all his family and those employees who loved him.

Such a loss of such an extrordinary person. As lifelong members of the Ohio Quarter Horse Association, it was always a joy to
show at the farm shows and be involved with any of the many activities that Bob contributed.
Thanks for the wonderful memories.

I am sorry to hear of Bob Evan's passing. I remember hearing his name and hearing the commercial song,"Bob Evans, Down on the Farm", when I was little. I also remember my mother making breakfast for my sister,brother,sister,and I. She would make eggs and Bob Evans sausage patties. It's just a good childhood memory I have of school mornings. I wish I had them both back. But.. OK, Mr. Evans. May you rest in peace and peace to your family and thank you for a wonderful product. Sincerely,

Bob's family,
When I had heard of Bobs passing, I fondly remembered the early mornings my wife and myself would visit my parents in Ashland, Ky. and in the morning when I would wake up to find my wife gone. When I would go into the kitchen and ask Mother she told me that my Dad and my wife would sneak off to Bob Evans to have biscuits and gravy. My Dad passed away in 2001 and that is on of my fondest memories; my Dad and Wife had a close relationship and it was because of their breakfasts together at Bob Evans. Thank You so much for having a man like Bob that could accomplish so much on this earth. My prayers are with You.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Mr. Evans. We had to move from Michigan to Georgia and the one very important thing we miss is having breakfast after church every Sunday at Bob Evans. Maybe some day the lord will bless us with a Bob Evans in or around Dalton.

I am sorry to hear Bob Died. His sausage is the best. I used to live in Winchester Va and ate at the restruant regulary. I live in New Orleans now and they don't have a Bob Evans here.
Again my condolances to his family.

Sorry for your loss. Bob was a great person and big supporter of the Ohio State Fair Junior Division. I remember as a youth, who showed and sold our Hampshire Hogs at the State Fair, the great showcase for youth put on by Merlin Woodruff, Govenor Rhodes, Dave Thomas and Bob Evans at the yearly auctions.
Bob will be sadly missed but his spirit will live on in his many restaurants and the Farm.
