Jim and I became great friends in the first grade and I knew his entire family. Lots of memories, ( including the time we had to wash the school windows for calling someone a bad name).

Oh Jim, how you will be missed. Now all we have are the memories. Like the many hours of playing Monopoly. Riding our bikes all over Willow Oak. Feeding the Calves a bucket of milk. Swimming in the irrigation ditch in the Summer. But what great memories.

Family of Jim Evans,
Knew Jim many years ago when he resided in Esparto. My place of business was one of Jim's favorite hangouts. An absolute gentleman and always welcomed. The same for his brother Pete.
