John W. Evans III

I had the privilege of serving with John in the Navy. He referred to himself as John Evans,"The Kid." He constantly reminded me of Philly being #1. After we graduated from our training at Great Lakes, we went different ways. Then on Sunday I was reading our South Dakota Firefighter and E.M.T. thoughts, where John's name appeared. It figures John would take this role on later in life and care for people. He was a friend and a memorable person in my life. We were friends 45 years ago, and always will be friends. "Fair winds and smooth sailing." Your family can be proud of a job well done.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Shipmate! Tell Davy Jones I said, "Hi"
