I knew Evan in the arly 80s as a chess player. A heck of a nice guy and strong player. My belated condolances. - Don Conner

Please accept my condolences for this tragic loss. Evan was a part of our class at Germantown Friends School, and his yearbook page (shared with all of us by one of our other classmates) said it all: thoughtful, a solid citizen, and a sharp sense of humor! May many good memories comfort you in the days ahead.

My condolences to the Post family and all his many friends. Hearing of the loss of a GFS classmate is one of the hardest to receive. May he be held in the light.
My first memories of Evan were going over to his house when I was @ 5 or 6, and he had this catapult that his father had made that threw tennis balls or water balloons. It made a big impression on me!
The photo of Evan says it all. That love of life attitude will not be forgotten.

So sorry to hear of Evan's passing. Condolences to family and friends. Best memories of Evan were related to many hours spent on the baseball field. Remembered as a wonderful classmate with a great sense of humor.
Even got to share a "Batting Champion" Award with Evan for 1976 GFS Baseball team. P. Baur '76

Evan- we miss you so much! You were the ultimate Phillies fan, a source of amazing information on any subject in the world, reliable for a good joke, especially the really punny ones and the one to generously offer chess guidance and teaching to so many! Our hearts are broken. We share sympathy with all who mourn your passing, most especially to Ann.
XOXO Christina, Bill, Anna and Anthony Hulslander
