Obituary

Roy Evans of Abington, Massachusetts left the physical world Thursday the 25th of September 2014 at the age of 69 to begin the next phase of his being. Roy, born a rambunctious lad in Texas on the 9th of July, 1945 to George and Dorothe Evans, soon tired of that life style and along with his Mother migrated to Massachusetts. Once safely ensconced by the seashore he convinced his Mother that he needed siblings. She obliged, producing Steven, Corky, Mary, and last but not least Georgianna. Roy excelled at being the big brother, helping to mold the youngsters and encourage them to follow his ways without being apprehended by the authorities or reported to their parents, although he did admit to "setting them up now and then" just to keep them in line as all good elder siblings would.

Roy grew tired of high school, playing drums in the marching band, being an overachiever in academics, and life in a small town. At this time he decided to serve his country, joining the Air Force and then marrying Jennette Cook. Together they produced a son, Brian. After his tours of duty on Cape Cod and then Anchorage, Alaska, he came back home with his family to help raise his son Brian who went on to become a successful and dedicated fire fighter in northern California.

Roy navigated his earthly existence the best way he knew how. His love of music drove him to learn to play the guitar and several other instruments. He also wrote many songs, some of which are not quite fit for little ears, but good stuff nonetheless. He loved to entertain and was always ready with a song or a joke. Roy had a great sense of humor, deprecating at times, showing that there is laughter to be found almost anywhere and about almost anything.
