We will miss him so much—he and Jeanette were the first people we met when we first moved to Lansing and are two of our oldest friends. Our deepest sympathies to Kevin and Scot and Bruce.

Evvern and his family were great neighbors during my growing-up years in North Lansing. My brother was Evvern’s friend until he died. My deepest sympathy to Jeannette and family.
It is a consolation to me to think of Evvern and Bob Sohn back together again.
Sincerely,
Helen Sohn

Kevin / Scott, please accept Christine & My condolences regarding your father. I remember what a nice couple your parents were when we were at Sexton. And they raised two fine sons. RIP Evvern.
