Evan d. of Lung Cancer, November 2, 1971, just a day before his 66th birthday. Burial was at Diagonal Cemetery.
Just like a whisper, and then no more, For it was God who was at the door.
He took our loved one home to rest, One so special, one of the best.
No one loved family more then Dad, No one can count the friends he had.
We knew some day he would depart, But to us - So young at heart.
