I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Evans. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this trying time. I was a student of Mr. Evans's in 1989, he was a wonderful and very caring teacher and friend. I recently was looking through my old school albums and ran across a message he wrote to me, it was such a special and caring message I will treasure always. I'm sure he will be missed my many. I can honestly say he is someone that touched and left a footprint on my heart and will remain there for always.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Evans' family. He was a great individual. In the 80's, I was fortunate enough to have his loving wife as my English teacher. I knew him through her and his unmistakable sense of humor. May he rest in peace

I loved my cousin when I was growing up as a boy like no other person. He spent time with me and made me feel like I was the most important person he knew. Bless him and his family he was truly a good man.

Bob was an infant when we met, then a "tow headed 'youngster' always polite and cheerful.Regrettably the connection went astray and only in the past few weeks we became reacquainted. Regretfully, it was all too brief a time but the few e mails exchanged bridged a gap of almost four decades. Bob was still the gracious and courteous young man I had known. I extend my sincere condolences to his wife Vickie. May God comfort you and fill your heart with serenity.

Vicki, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I have been thinking of you so much lately. I know how overwhelmed you must feel but remember, God is always with you and with Bob also. Love, Cindy Davis
