Richard Evarts Obituary

Richard, an iron worker by trade, enjoyed working with his son, Storm, on remodeling Storm's house. He was always there for his son, Storm, and proud of his son's arm wrestling success.
Well-loved by his family and friends, he was an outgoing conversationalist who was a people person. Richard enjoyed gardening, going to the casino and working on projects in his garage. He loved his dogs, Spike, Lollipop, Shiloh and Lady and his cat, Simmy.
The family extends sincere appreciation to Dr. Weston and his staff, Geisinger Community Medical Center staff and Regional Hospital staff.
Surviving are his lifelong companion, Lora Chellino, Scott Twp.; his son, Storm Chellino; additional children, John and Chenoa; grandchildren, Sarah, Matthew, Haley, Cheyenne, Nakia and Shadow; brothers, George, Danny, Peter and Tim; and sisters, Connie, Alberta and Betsy.
He was also preceded in death by a sister, Joy; and brother, Edward.
