Sorry to hear. I hope the great memories and fun moments he brought to you all throughout your life together helps ease the loss today. The Evergreen family got a little smaller today. Or thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dawn, Judy and family, So sorry to hear about Jim. He’s had a rough time of it these last few years and I pray he’s found peace.

Hi Nadean, Thank you. Dad was at home, pain free and comfortable. His body was just so tired out – he really does deserve peace! Thanks again!

I know how special he was to you and I pray that God gives you the strength to help you during this difficult time. His memorie will live on. love, u, roz

Aw, thanks Roz – he really was my hero! I’ll be driving the truck around to the various car shows this summer showing off his prized possession! I’ll be sure to stop by with it! Thank you for always taking an interest in my sharing dad’s stories! Love you too! Thanks!

Jim and Andrea, thank you for posting! I’m sorry, but I don’t recognize your name – did you know my dad through his cars or car events? I’d love to know – just to know! LOL

Hi, Doug: Most sorry for your loss. Sorry to say I never met your Dad, but it’s clear you two shared a common love of cars, a bond which means a lot to a father and son—you’ll carry on his legacy, and we’ll be meeting up at a car event in the near future. Take care and God bless.
