Semper Fi, Congressman Evans! And thanks for all you have done.

[Green Man]

It's too bad hearing about Evans... He was one politician I did not mind voting for. Someone that tried to keep their integrity while still helping the people of this state. Let's hope that we can get a good replacement, but who knows?

So sad some of the diseases that people have to deal with when they get older. It sounds as though he gave a good fight while he was able to.

[MadMax]

Sad to hear about a Marine, or anyone, that has dedicated their entire life to the public, getting sick like that. Semper Fi, Congressman.
