Linda, Evan and Lane,
Our thoughts are very much with you all!
We are walking the same walk right now.
Your dad was a great guy! I admired his intelligence, quick wit and recall, his interests. He was a handsome man and a nice person.
Love and hugs for all of you!
Love,
Jim and Bonnie

Linda, I am saddened by the news of your father's passing and by the very transitory nature of life as we know it. Although I first met him in the twilight of his life I liked him, he was kind, generous, sociable and had a weath of knowledge to share. To you and your family know that I share a little of your loss. Dave

Phil was not only my brother's father-in-law, but also his very dear friend. He was always so pleasant - everyone in our family loved him. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of such a fine man but Linda and the boys have great memories.

Mr. Evans was our back door neighbor for many years as we were growing up on Chatham Rd. in Endwell. I remember him as handsome, very sociable, always smiling, and a good piano player. After I grew up, he told me I looked like my dad. I'm sure he will be remembered fondly by friends and family.
