Patty, Rita, and family--
I am so sorry about the passing of your husband and son-in-law. I only just now learned about it while searching out another obituary. I just don't check the paper often enough I guess. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply saddened by both the recent passing of both Mike and Tony Evans over the past couple weeks.
I always remembered both of them as my "Big Brothers" to me, and I overwhelmed with sorrow.

Patty, Our deepest condolences will always remember Tony when we were riding four-wheelers and seeing him at the pig roast. He was a great guy always willing to help anyone. We will keep you in our prayers.

For many years I saw Tony two times each week when he delivered chips to the store I managed. He always stayed for a cup of coffee and over the years we talked about many different things. He told me a lot of funny stories about his childhood and teenage years; he even brought his high school yearbook to the store so I could take a look. Tony was a great man- he was a good listener; he was always kind and helpful. He loaned me his crutches when I broke my ankle. I will always remember his easy laughter, his stories about Catholic grade school and that the Turtles song "So Happy Together" reminded him of his wife. May God comfort you in the days ahead and bring you peace as you try to adjust to life without Tony.
