Colonel Evans was THE BEST substitute teacher I've ever had while in grade school. We thought we were being slick with trying to get over on him but he was always one step ahead of us. I can't help but smile when I think of his pleasant demeanor. He would try to yell at the students in my class but we would always end up making him laugh. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

To Colonel Evans Family:
My prayers and thoughts are with you during your time of bereavement. I am still in shock to find out that my former sub from high school is no longer. Im pretty sure all of the students who attended Richland Northeast remembers Colonel Evans catching us sleeping in class and etc. I can truly say Colonel will truly be missed. He helped keep us in line and kept all his students on track. God Bless the Evans Family
RIP Colonel Evans.

Dear Evans Family,
We are thinking and praying for you during this time of loss.
Mr. Evans was one of my favorite substitute teachers while in grade school in Columbia. He was the sweetest person and I will always remember him.
God bless the Evans family.

Tim was a College schoolmate;an Army buddy and Friend. He was also a master story teller. He could hold students spell bound on Center Court when he recited from memory a dozen or more home spun tales. Because of this gift he was dubbed Chief Story Teller or simply "Chief", a name that remained with him through the remainder of his Life. I pray for the family he left behind, may the Lord bless and keep you.

Dear Evans family,
I would like to offer my codolences for your great loss. It was a pleasure to know Col. Evans. Growing up as a neighbor, I always admired him and his zest for life. He was a great friend to my entire family and always served as an inspiration to everyone who knew him. He was always pleasant and kind. He will truly be missed and although we loved him God loved him best and called him home. He is probably having a grand time in heaven and I am sure that everyone there knows him :) Please let me know if there is anything my family and I can do to assist you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Valerie, Darrell, Bridgette and Earl Rumph
