Maureen, and the entire Evans family, so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I have a lot of good memories about how kind he was to me in my youth. To this day I have never shaken hands with a man with a firmer grip! again, so sorry for your loss.

Roseann
We were so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. When we were home in March, we had a wonderful visit with Tom. He spent most of the time reflecting on his love and pride for you,the girls and the grandkids. One of the last things he said to us was how life had been good to him and that he was so blessed. It was a blessing to have known him and we will miss him. The breakfast club will never be the same.
May God bless and keep you during this difficult time.
Love,
Stephanie and Rick

May the Evans family gain comfort from the Holy Scriptures at this time and know that Jesus promises everlasting life for those following his words.

Roseanne, I have many fond memories of trips with Tom and you; he and Mike shared so much years ago. Maybe they will share more in heaven. I hope so. Your family will be of warm support and comfort to you in the days ahead.

My thoughts and prayers to the Evans family. Tom was one of my very first coaches in OYA softball. No matter what our skill level, or the score, every time we went to bat you heard him clearly: "I believe in you!"
I think of that often. He made a difference in the lives of many.
God bless you all during this difficult time.

Dearest Roseanne and Girls,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. I was "blessed" to see Tom one more time enjoying his "heavenly" smile. I will "miss" seeing him going to and from work--BIG Tom with his Black cowboy hat and Big Black Caddy "smiling" at Little Me in my Mini as he passed me on the freeway!! :). Love Heidi and Art.

I knew Tom for many years as a supplier to his business. He was an inspiration to me and to all the staff at ICI. We went on many trips together with Tom and Roseann and always considered them a class act. May God be with them at this time.
