Omaha, NE Wednesday, October 20, 2010 Very sorry to hear the sad news the other day about my friend Evon. I had the pleasure of getting to know Evon as a friend and business neighbor starting in 2002 when I opened my business next to his; he always had a smile, wave or good conversation when I'd see him. Evon helped me several time with his John Deere tractor doing snow removal, dirt work or leveling my gravel parking lot on weekdays or weekends he was willing to help. I will truly miss Evon; he will always be remembered by me as a helpful friend, my condolences to his family.Michelle Cattlett
