William Evans is my Grandfather! He will always be my Grandfather and live forever in my heart! I have my most favorite moments of living in Pensacola with him and my Grandmother. I was a little boy and he would tell me the same joke everytime he would drive me home passed the Cemetery on 16th Avenue. He would say "I bet you don't know how many people that are dead over there?" I'd always respond with a ridiculous number just to hear him say "All of them is dead!" LOL I love him for being both a father and grandfather who taught me how to be a child and enjoy life!! I love you Grandad, forever and always!!!

I love and miss you daddy i think of you all of the time...the way you make me laugh,the way you say my name, the way you use to tickle my knee and make me giggle when i was a little girl. I also remember when i was in high school you use to ask me if i had any change (for the snack machine at school)i would usually say no ...than you would reach into your pocket and pour out all of these quaters and dimes and nickles and pennies than you would say taks as much as you like i would usually take about 50 cent. what a blessing it is to have such a wonderful dad. My two boys Titus and Timothy loved you so very much...they always remembered the jokes you told them and the math questions you asked them. My husband saw you as his very own father remember he asked your permission to date me now we have been married for 14 wonderful years. I love you daddy and i look foward to seeing you again your baby girl Lillie Campbell

My Grandfather, My GrandPa, My Pa Pa. As a child I spoke the words pa pa , as a teenager I leaned the word Grand Pa, as a man I learn the meaning of Grandfather.

TO THE EVANS FAMILY
It is with great sadness I received the news of the passing of Mr. William Evans (Mr “William”)
I want the family to know, they have my greatest sympathy. I know his passing will leave a void in his Family’s lives, and in the hearts of all those who knew and loved him.
I pray that God will bless and comfort the family in this time of sorrow, and in the days and years to come.
May he rest in peace.
With my deepest sympathy,
Bradford J. Stallworth (“B.J.”)
