Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss, Sandy. I just read of your loss on the Register today, as we are snowbirds presently in Florida. Dick and Joanne Tebaldi
My heart is with you during this time of grief. Mr. Evans was always warm and friendly whenever I was at the Evans’ home spending time with Lynn when we were kids. He was hardworking, funny and enjoyed a good laugh and always asked about my parents. I had the blessing of witnessing a real family man in him and am grateful for that. May memories comfort his family now and in months to come.
Uncle Bruce will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sandy, Bruce, Lynn, and their families. love, Jimmy, Cindy, Kim, Lauren, and Alaina
Uncle Bruce was a great and funny guy. He was always kind and encouraging to me. He will be dearly missed.
Sandra, you were married to the finest man that I have ever known. We go back to when we were in gramer school, high school were he was one of the finest football guard to grace the field. I also had the pleasure of serving in the army with him. Bruce was a good man, and a All American.. Sandra, God Bless You and your family... Respectfully John Forgie
