Not sure what to say?

To the Evans family,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss so late. Frank has been on my mind and in my conversations a lot of the last year and a half.

I will miss my Uncle Frank and the phone calls I made to check on him from time to time. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet him for the first time last year. "God, please take care of Uncle Frank for he was truly a Living Legend".

Tee Jessie, May God keep you in perfect peace in your time of sorrow, for you and the Evans Family are in our prayers at this time.

It hurts my heart to lose such a great friend in Coach Evans. He was the difference in the lives of so many and every lesson he taught us will never be forgotten.

My condolences to the Evans family. The death of Frank Evans is a blow to the Southlawn neigborhood, the baseball world and especially to the surviving members of Negro League Baseball. Frank was a generous man who freely shared his knowledge and experiences in major league baseball. His notable career as a baseball player is well documented among both Negro League Baseball records and Major League Baseball records. Frank will be missed by us all. May he rest in peace, after a life well lived.
