It is sad to hear of the passing of such a wonderful father. Fond memories of him proudly working his reel to reel tape system set up in the living room!

Enjoy the glory of our Lord Mr. Evans!

Bill was "larger than life". He was full of so much information and I enjoyed sharing trivia with him. His daughter Denise and I have been "friends forever". As he walked her down the aisle to be married to Wayne many years ago, his grin was ear to ear and he was so proud...
I know he loved his family very much and loved to be around them. His grandchildren were his pride and joy.
He lived a good long life, rest now Bill. You will be missed. Fondly,

We were sorry to hear the passing of Bill. It was always so much fun when him and Adella visited the farm. I loved his sense of humor. It was fun hearing him and my dad laugh. I know my mom enjoyed their visits and then keeping in touch throughout the years. We love you all and sorry of your loss of a special person! Our love and prayers for you!

Mary Lou: It's been a long time, but I will always remember the years that you and Bill lived next door to us in south Sacramento. He was a dear man, and I was glad to have known him. All my love to you and your family.
