Roger Lynwood Evans

We've had the pleasure of Roger & Wendy as delightful neighbors for the past six years. Our horses and goats will miss his twice daily greetings and treats as he would walk Sonnet, their German Shepherd along the pasture fenceline. Roger will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will all miss him very much.

I met Roger towards the end of his 3M career when I first joined the 3M patent liaison group. Roger made me feel welcome and was very helpful. I loved to hear him tell stories – he made me laugh! I am honored to have known him. My prayers are with his family and friends.

I have had the wonderful privilege of knowing the Evans' family, through my friend Alison, for nearly 35 years. Roger was a man of tremendous character, intellect, enthusiasm, wit, as well as a loving father and husband. My prayers are with you Alison, Lawrence, Robert, and Wendy, as you mourn his passing and celebrate his life.

TO MARK THE PASSING OF AN OLD CARTHUSIAN

Roger was an "electronic" friend, as we worked on 3M publications from opposite sides of the Atlantic.

I know, admired, and thoroughly enjoyed Roger from my early days at 3M in the mid-1970s. Being his friend was a great blessing in my life, and working with him on the Tech Forum flier, savoring his inimitable writing style and his sense of humor, was one of my great joys. Roger, you were a powerful and respected voice at 3M and the Tech Forum, and you were a wonderful influence in the lives of your friends. I will miss you more than I can say.

Roger and I first met nearly 22 years ago. It was my first day at 3M. I was a 20 something year old with a lot of apprehension about my new career. Roger was one of the first people I met that day and he was very cordial, which I came to realize was the norm with Roger. Eventually our conversations at work included a mutual interest in music and soon Roger recruited me to join the orchestra of Gilbert and Sullivan Very Light Opera Company.

After Roger retired from 3M we still had...

Roger was a friend and mentor to me. Max and I will miss his calls and letters. Wendy, you are in our prayers.

Roger was a gentleman and kind person of the highest order. He made everyone he worked with feel good about themselves and working with him. He was a dear, dear colleague to many of us at 3M.

It was a deep honor to have worked with him and to get to know him. We were made richer as we enjoyed and shared his personality, wisdom, warmth, and sense of humor. His kind are rare and are sorely needed more and more in this world.

Somewhere in the heavens, a saintly Gilbert...
