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.

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
