Jimmie and I went to school at Wylie all of our twelve years. I have not seen him in years but kept up with him through his family. He was a fun guy as well as a "good" guy. Blessings to his family.

To The Evans Family
I offer my heartfelt thoughts about my friend Jim Evans. I knew Jim as a golfing buddy who invited me into his group with a kind welcome and firm handshake. We shared many laughs on the course remembering old childhood,TV cowboy-shows and TV comedies. I will surely miss our golfing fun and the joyful laughs which often brought tears of joy to our eyes. In the tradition of the U.S Maritime Services, I bid my buddy Jimmy Evans, "Fair Winds and Following Seas" into this next charted voyage of his existence.
