I remember Evan when I was a child , we grew up with his sons, and he was a family friend. He was a wonderful person and I have many beautiful memories of him throughout the years. I remember the last conversation we had when I saw him at Heinz rehab,a few years ago, and his words of wisdom. Rest in peace. Condolences to the rest of his family.
