Angie, Autumn, David – I am very sorry about your grandfather’s death. Please know I am thinking of you. It was a pleasure to meet him at Autumn’s Baptism.
I will remember your Dad walking along Johnston Boulevard. When I was painting or doing some work to my rental houses in the area, Mr. Evans would stop and watch. He was a most pleasant man, always smiling when I passed by. My condolences to all of his family.
Very sorry to learn of your father’s death. He was a nice person and we enjoyed talking to him when we were at the house. I will miss seeing him. He always came down to see us when we were there at the house. He was my mother’s neighbor for many years.
