Prayers for the Evans family. Jaohn was certainly proud of his family. The Elementary School in Wappingers was named after his Grandfather.
Sorry to see you go my friend.
We all have gotten lost in time.
Our adventures of the past are distant memories, fishing in Wappingers Creek, playing frisbee for hours, hanging out at Joe's corner, the wall, the garage, great music, foose ball at Vinnie's store, So much more. There was 10 of us that shared a few amazing years together, memories to be cherished for ever.
Time has slipped by and life has dealt us all different a hands, filled with many blessings and challenges.
My memories of John are from those days, good ones and deep down he is a awesome guy, despite his flaws and a occasional frog in his mouth, his heart was in the right…
My heart, thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I have many fond memories of John .. thank you for the many laughs my friend. May we meet again some day in Heaven
