loving family. He was born in Bridgeport, CT to the late Sidney and Grace Evans. He was the proprietor of Evans Garage Door

his walks at Seaside Park, making his famous “Grampa’s Chicken” when the grandkids were growing up, and
playing with his grand-dogs.  Mr. Evans was the family’s handy man, and mechanic, and jack-of-all-trades around
the house. He will be greatly missed. He was predeceased by his beloved wife and childhood sweetheart Elizabeth (Bonitatebus) Evans, his brother Jack
Evans, his sister Doris Gadacy, and his son-in-law Gary Champagne. Survivors include his four children; Robert Evans and his wife Rosa of Shelton, John Evans (his constant companion
