We are very sorry for your loss. My husband and I worked with Evan at Rohm and Haas. He was a pleasure to work with but he also inspired you to be a better person. He was a gentleman and treated everyone with respect. We could not have asked for a better role model. Rest in peace, Evan.

Evan was my supervisor at Rohm & Haas, but also a friend and a mentor. He taught me how to be a leader, how to listen, and how to care about people. Over the years, I've thought about him often and I tried to emulate him in my own career. Thank you Evan for everything you've done for all of us who worked for you, and can call you a friend. You were the best! God Bless You always, and I will miss you.

Evan was a Christian, a son, husband, a father, grandfather, and a great grand father.
He was a great boss. He led and practiced being a
Christian and he will be missed by all who loved and knew him.
