Dear Friends,
After a long, happy and successful life I am sad to let you know that Maj Gen RN (Bob) Evans has died aged 99years.
I am in touch with his son Stephen who let me know. Gen Bob spent his last few years in a care home where for the most part he flourished having been very lonely in the house at Folly Hill after his wife died.
He used to phone me every few weeks to , as he would say ‘chew the fat’. I enjoyed our chats and latterly he would advise me that he had instructed his family as to his exact his plans for his funeral, he was determined that it would be what he wanted and also to save his family the bother.
Funeral details as follows:
Day TBC
Roman Catholic Cathedral Church of St Michael and St George Church Queens Avenue Aldershot GU11 2BY
Requiem Mass at 1100hrs followed by burial in Aldershot Military Cemetery
Reception details afterwards tbc
