I sometimes forget that Robbie is not in his office, or on a plane, or in Chicago. We were dear friends and he still visits my thoughts everyday.

Beside being a commercial representative of my company, Robbie became my best friend. Every two months we used to spend one month, 24 hours together, calling on customers, spread in many US States and sometimes, in other countries. When we were't together, we used to call each other, everyday.
He became close even of my family, in his many trips to Brazil, as I came very close to his in my trips to US.
In more than 10 years, we never have had a discussion about any reason. As he was a very competitive guy, when we didn't agree in something, we used to bet.
I really miss him a lot.

I knew Rob long ago from Evans Cooperage where i worked for many years with Rob's father, and enjoyed many fulfilling meetings also with Rob. Even though we have not had much contact for years, we would still happen across each other and each time I enjoyed our visits. I will miss Rob.

I was totally shocked and deeply saddened recently by a mutual friend and acquaintance of mine that immediately mentioned that Robbie had passed away. Robbie and I worked hard together as supplier/buyer at Greif for a number of years. Since we had matching personalities - but on the opposite side of the table, sparks would usually fly; but business was always concluded, and continued to grow. Robbie became a dear friend after our first trip to Brazil. After 2 or 3 Capiringas's everyone is a friend.. but Robbie was and always will be special, endearing, genuine. I am a blessed man to have met, worked, laughed and cried with him. The memories of our times together are and will remain vivid forever. Here is to one special human being, Cheers Robbie, Mark

Where to begin? I had the privilege of living across the street from Robbie and his family for 20 years. It certainly was never dull! I enjoyed gatherings at the Evan's and also at my home, with Robbie present you new there would be interesting conversation. As the night would roll on I always looked forward to having a traditional absinthe and having a very animated discussion about who the top 10 rock and roll bands were, top 10 southern rock bands or the greatest guitarist or drummer. Quite memorable! When Robbie Jr. was attending Lehigh I was able to introduce Robbie to my fraternity brothers at our annual tailgate. He quickly fit in with the group and became an active participant at the golf outing and tailgate fundraiser. My DU Brothers were sad to here the news, we prayed for him last fall at the tailgate and I know we will raise a toast to honor his life this fall on September 16th at the tailgate. Cheers Robbie!!! Your friend Clint.

Robbie was a one-of-kind supplier and friend to during my years at Greif. Robbie was a joy to be around always! He knew good food, wine, and laughter. I will always remember our trips to Brazil. He always played the role of the host to the fullest, making the trips memorable. He even had Brazil win the World Cup on our first trip so we would have something to celebrate! :) Additionally, I always knew how important his family was to him, and they made him happiest in his life. Cheers to a life well lived!

My sincerest and deepest condolences to Robbie's family. Robbie was one of my favorite guests at the restaurant where I've been employed for nearly 5 years. He was one of the first regulars that took an interest in my ideas. I remember he told me I would make a great teacher and that meant a lot to me! He will be dearly missed.

I was shocked to hear on March 28 that Robbie was gone. We had been in and out of each other's lives over the last 30 years, and I enjoyed every minute of time spent together. He was the quintessential "all in " guy, like the time he kept betting me a bottle of champagne he could beat me at beach bocce, and ended up owing me a whole case , which he good- naturedly paid up on. What more can I say to laude a truly remarkable and caring guy. So sorry, Barbara, Kathleen and Robbie, Jr.

Barbara, Kathleen & Robbie,III - we love you.
Robbie was kind, considerate, generous, empathetic, compassionate and engaging. Whenever he was conversing with you he gave you 100% of his attention.
Robbie was also my dear friend. He was selfless and gave of himself when people were in need. When our son Jay died friends consoled Dianne, Olivia and me. My dearest friends Robbie, Jim Swanson, and Mike Kotler visited and consoled me for many months. Every time we parted Robbie would embrace me with a hug and say I love you. I replied in kind. That began over 8 years ago. Ever since I have parted from my all of my dear friends by embracing them and telling them I love them. Robbie showed his mettle. He taught me how genuine friends support one another. Robbie's selflessness, sensitivity and dedication to friends and people in need is an inspiration.
Over numerous years, Robbie, Jim Swanson, and I traveled together with our boys to soccer and baseball tournaments. We also did family things together. Our sports trips were filled with pranks, jokes, teasing and other forms of guy-type enjoyment during which we forged lifelong friendships.
Some of our sports trips involved long distance drives during which the boys would tell jokes, exchange gossip, sing along with CD-music and eventually torment the dads. On a trip to Memphis the boys drove me crazy singing Jumping Jack Flash It's a Gas over and over again ad-nauseum. I lost my temper and my wits. The boys just laughed and teased me even more whereupon they started rolling up spit balls and shooting them out of straws into Robbie's white hair. Robbie was cool and calm. He laughed and handled it well.
We also frequently revisited the time when we stayed in a beach house on Navarre beach, FL. It was right on the water's edge. It was in February and the air and water were very cold. Robbie donned his speedo swim suit, he ran out of the house and past a group of startled laughing women walking on the beach. Robbie said something to them that made them giggle. He ran into waist high water and dived in. Robbie stood up in the cold water and kept yelling for us to come join him. We just laughed. He then sprinted right back to the house and chided us for not joining him. We laughed so hard that it hurt.
BTW this is only one of numerous speedo episodes.
Our dear friend Robbie is laughing right now.

I didn't know Robbie too well, but from what I heard at the memorial service yesterday, he was just as fine as I suspected. I knew him through my son, Jim, and through Robbie's kindness to both my husband and me when my husband, also named Jim, was dying of cancer. Ever since I first met the Evans family -- Barbara, Kathleen, and Robbie Jr. -- I knew I was brushing shoulders with a class act. And Robbie Sr. was right there with them. I liked knowing he was there. I'll miss that.

I have known Robbie for 48 years. That may seem like a long time to some, it's not nearly long enough for me. Robbie was a great friend and of all his wonderful qualities I will miss his fantastic sense of humor the most. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Evans and Hamilton family. We all feel your loss. We shall continue to celebrate Robbie's life and he will live forever in our hearts. I am grateful for the time we shared, he was and always will be a great part of our family. Rest In Peace Robert George Evans Jr.

I have nothing but happy memories of times shared with Robbie and Barbara, over the past thirty-some years. Robbie's infectious smile, great wit and joy of living, enriched my life experiences. He lived life fully and enthusiastically; he was a connoisseur of sensory stimulation, be it art, music, wine, food, a festival, diving a coral reef, or a walk in the park. He had the strength and courage to be his own man, pursuing his values and creating a wonderful family and successful business. He epitomized joie de vivre. Like everyone who knew him, I will sorely miss him and will forever cherish his memory. May God give strength and courage to Barbara, young Rob, Kathleen, Ron, and other family members.

Rob was a dear friend to us and even though we lived quite apart from each other we always felt very close. After Rob and Peter met on the occasion of a LES conference back in the early nineties we quickly became personal friends with Barb and Rob. Meeting each other occasionally on either side of the Atlantic with our families, Rob made us always feel as we were living next door. We will dearly miss Rob and are very grateful for the time we spent together.

Robbie was a dear friend for 20+ years. For months after my son Jay died friends consoled me, Dianne and Olivia. Robbie, Jim Swanson, and Mike Kotler visited and consoled me for many months. Every time we parted Robbie would hug me and say I love you and I replied in kind. We have parted in the same way over the last 8+ years. I have parted from all of my dearest friends in the same way ever since and I recall how and why it got started. You might chose to do the same and then think of Robbie.

I only met Rob last year, however, he and his family have impacted me greatly. I am so thankful to date and love his son, Robbie III, and their family has welcomed me with open arms. The Evans family has a unique kind of unconditional love for family and friends.
This is such a tragedy, and I will never forget Rob's genuine interest in others, intelligent debates/conversations, and sweet demeanor.

I just heard about Robbie's passing. I had the pleasure of doing business with Rob, his dad Mr Evans and Julius Ripp many years ago. My business was right down the street on Peters road. They got me involved with several organizations in the area along with getting me started on networking.
Rob was sincere and cared. You would see this on your first visit with him
The Evans family remains in my thoughts and prayers.

I've worked for Robbie Evans for 23 years at Con-Tech International and very much appreciate the chance he gave me all those years ago to join his growing organization. The fact that I have only known one employer throughout my adult life is testament to his thoughtful managerial style and his generosity. He allowed us unlimited scope to pursue opportunities and did not micromanage our daily activities. He was always supportive of initiatives despite the risk of loss or failure. In fact, he was an optimist and had great enthusiasm for new ventures whether they were business related or for the good of the community. I think he enjoyed taking an unconventional view of a situation and applying an equally unconventional solution, despite the obvious hurdles. He really was dogged in his pursuit of what he felt was the right thing - no matter the obstacles. He always forged ahead and was proved right many times. His energy and steadfastness will always be an inspiration.
At the same time, I think his almost child-like love for what he was doing and his interest in people and their personal situations contributed greatly to his success. The success of Con-Tech and his role as its leader was very much due to his people skills. Robbie always brought a fun attitude to work and valued relationships and the time we spent together. All of us at Con-Tech will miss him greatly at the annual Christmas parties and our monthly meetings/luncheons. I am consoled by the fact that I have his example upon which to model my professional and personal life and feel very lucky to have had the chance to work with him for so many years. My heartfelt condolences to all his family members during this difficult time.

My sincere condolences to Robbie's family. I was privileged to serve alongside Robbie on the World Trade Center Bord of Directors. He was slated to assume the chairmanship from me this year. I was keeping the seat warm for him, but as we all learn with age our plans don't always match God's plans for us. Robbie's quiet and unassuming leadership will be missed by everyone. Rest In Peace.

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His Arms around you
And whispered "Come To Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
And though we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
A precious soul at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
We prayer God heal all family and friends who were fortunate to have been part of Robbie's life.

I have a picture on my refrigerator of Rob and me sitting on the deck of a sailboat drinking beers and laughing. It was taken in Honduras in 1991 and has been on display in my kitchen about that long, a daily reminder of a wonderful time with Rob and his family, one among many. It has been my privilege and my pleasure to know Rob and Barbara (and Kathleen and Robbie) as dear friends, gracious and generous hosts, and welcome visitors. Some of the best parties in my life have been with Rob and Barbara. His death is a grievous loss to his many friends and business associates as well as to his family. Rob has enriched my life and, I am sure, the lives of many other people who have known him. I offer my sincere condolences to the Evans family.

My sincere condolences to the Evans family. Having worked for Evans for many years- my fondest memory of Robbie was singing at the top of his lungs "Mellow Yellow" in the upstairs bathroom.

Suzette and I have known Robbie since the time our sons were little guys playing soccer. For over 10 years we shared the sidelines of countless games. Later we were on the road as we travelled to soccer tournaments. It was during that time we had the good fortune to become friends. Robbie was always of good cheer no matter how the game was going. He was always lot of fun. Later I was asked to play golf with Robbie at Timberlane Country Club. Golf with Robbie and Ronnie was a memorable experience. I loved watching the good natured banter between them. Robbie has been on our mind constantly. I miss him. We was a good guy, a good Dad and loyal friend.

"That Robbie!" is how I would refer to my former employer because you never knew what he was going to say or do but you knew it was going to be hilarious even when he was being "serious". I only worked for "Robbie" for three years but enjoyed every bit of it. He was a great guy. He will be greatly missed. I am beyond words right now. Love my Con-Tech Family

Lets try again... I'm still waiting for my phone to ring with Robbie saying "hey baby y'all want to do dinner Saturday?" Robbie was Naturally Nawlins and his "giving back" to the beloved city he loved so much will be missed and certainly create a philanthropy void. I will forever miss our homeboy. God be with Barb, Kathleen & Robbie. Until we meet again dear friend, I will always raise my first wine glass to you.

I cannot express the sadness I felt when Barbara informed me the passing of Robbie.
Robbie was and will be forever my best and only friend I ever had in all my life. To say the truth, he was more than a friend, he was my soul brother. His charism, his empathy, his professionalism, his intelligence, sense of humor, kindness and generosity conquered me and my family.
He will always be present in our memories and in our hearts.

From when I first met Robbie, we established a friendship of debate, joy, and mirth, often traveling together. His intellect and wit, were only matched by his passion and sincerity. He was always a joy to be with. The consummate team player, he did his part in pushing school choice, always encouraging other leaders, while quietly leading in his own way. He was a friend, and I will miss him dearly.

I cannot express the loss that I feel with Robbie's passing; and yet, it is even greater for his dear family and closer friends. Robbie was focused, intense, humorous, value-driven, generous, kind, outgoing, embracing, loving, loyal, compassionate, aggressively honest, and so much more. He was a complex man who cared more about others than most people will ever know. I was honored to be a friend; the pain of his loss will subside over time but it will never go away. May God take care of his dear wife, son, daughter, twin brother and all of their families, as well as Robbie's many friends. We were privileged to know him and owe a deep debt to his family for sharing him with us.
