Dear Jennifer and Michael, We just found out on Friday that your Dad had passed away. My whole family, is so very sorry for you. Your Dad not only was a neighbor from Van Dike St, but a friend when we had our house up in the Mountains. Your parents were so good to Denis, many happy memories were shared with them. May your sorry be lessened with the good thoughts of such good parents you had. We are truly sorry, Fran

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the family and friends of Tom Evans. The service at the Calvary Chapel on Friday was beautiful.
Michael and Jennifer:
Tom was the funniest person I ever met. He's stories always had us laughing. He will be truly missed. I know your parents were called to heaven way too soon, but I hope you always treasure the memories and realize what good, kind and loving parents they were. Many of us bought our homes in the Pocono's because of the kindness and warmth of your parents. I know Tom is in heaven with Eddie and they are probably fishing right now.
Jeannie:
I believe you are an angel sent by God to be in Tom's life. I know that Tom loved and missed Cathy, but I am happy that he wasn't lonely and he was able to find love again.

Tom was a truely great person and wonderful uncle to me. I have many great memories of this man from the time I was a very young boy. He always made himself available to me in time of need and I will always love him for that. My deepest sympathy goes out to Michael and Jennifer for thier loss, and to Robert Thomas, may he continue Tom's legacy.

Williams Scotsman/Atco Trailer Rentals would like express our sympathy to Tom's family. He has been a customer of ours for many years & was a great guy. He always had a story to tell, the past year or so the stories were always about his grandson. He was a very proud grandfather. Our condolences go out to his daughter Jennifer & son Michael as well as his fiance, Jeanne.
