POQUOSON - L. Wayne Evans Sr., 74, a native & lifelong resident of Poquoson, passed away Monday, May 6, 2013 at home surrounded by his family. He worked the water early on tonging oysters in the James River, and then worked as a carpenter & "jack of all trades" in home construction for most of his life, which he enjoyed.
