Helen and family, so sorry to hear of George’s passing. I did not know him well before I moved to CBS but we had a few grand family chats at my store. He really was very well-informed. I still remember him sitting and talking to my mother at my grand opening. It made her day.

Like so many who had the pleasure of Mr. Evan’s company, he was a true teacher at heart. I have so many wonderful memories playing at Michele’s house, with her dad not far away, working on projects and an explanation as to how it was done. He will be sadly missed. My condolences to Michele and her family.

Will always remember Mr. George as an inspiring, dedicated teacher. My most memorable memory of him is in a grade 9B class at QERHS. My friend & I were, probably, a bit more interested in chatting, than listening. Mr. George looked at me & said, "you are loquacious. Guess you don't know what that means." "Yes, sir, I do. It means very talkative." I think he was suitably impressed! My friend & I had spent the weeks before looking up words in the dictionary that we would not have known. That word was one we had looked up a few days prior! Condolences to the Evans family. The picture below is from the mid 1960's and shows the essence of Mr. George W. Evans.

Helen, Michele, Adam and Heather and family: I was saddened to hear of Mr. Evans' passing. Whenever I had the pleasure of his company, the conversations were always engaging. He spoke to me as if I was the only person in the room. His character and intelligence influenced many of his students and peers. He was highly respected and will be missed. Take care.

Helen and Family, Just thinking about George brings fond memories of his pleasant, engaging manner and his dedication to those he loved. I've heard it said that "Where there is great love, there is also great loss" and I pray that you will take comfort in knowing that so many of us share your sorrow.

I had the pleasure of knowing George as a fellow member of the NLTA Centennial Choir.He was always so pleasant and friendly. Through conversation,I discovered that he had known my father who was teaching near Plum point when George was there. They were delighted when they connected at one of the choir functions and were able to reminisce. He led such a full and productive life but always had time for everyone.He certainly has left such a positive impression on so many people. With sincere sympathy from Cynthia and Greg Fardy and Roy and Olive Sansom.

Connie Winter posted a condolence
George was my Grade 9 Math teacher and my Latin teacher in Grades 10 and 11. He was my all-time favourite teacher. He was well-prepared and well-organized. Students always knew where they stood with him. In later years, I sang with him in the NLTA choir. He was very active in church and community and could always be relied upon to do his part. My sincere condolences go out to Helen and his family. With deepest sympathy, Connie (Barnes) Winter. Carpe diem. Tempus fugit.

To the Evans Family, I am deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Evans passing. I have many momories of him and your family over the years. Playing in the backyard, running back and forth through each yard to get to where we were going. Many birthday parties with Adam. I enjoyed listening to his stories and always enjoyed running into him in places. Always asking "how are you doing" "everything ok" and "how's your boy?". He was a kind and gentle soul who will be missed by so many. My sincere condolences are with all of you at this difficult time. Cherrish all the memories you all have together, remember his funny laugh and love for you all. RIP George, fly high with the Angels. All my love, Stephanie Lush

An inimitable man for whom I had the greatest respect and in whom I held highest esteem has completed his life's work. I am certainly saddened by this news but count myself among the many former students at QERHS who consider themselves fortunate to have been taught and influenced by Mr. Evans, a true life-long educator extraordinaire who will be dearly missed. My sincere, heartfelt condolences to Helen, Heather, Michele and Adam. God bless.

Dennis Hopkins posted a condolence
I had Mr. Evans as a teacher at the original QERHS and he did his best to teach me Latin. I'm afraid I wasn't a good student in that regard but 3 Latin words come to memory when I hear his name, AMO, AMAS, AMAT. From reading his obituary, these words reflected his view of family, teaching, retirement, volunteering and life in general. Condolences to the family.

I have so many good memories of Uncle George from our summer visits to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. I can recall his laugh like it was yesterday. He always had such a nice way of getting to know anyone he was around and everyone loved him for it. It is difficult not to be sad, but more than anything I feel a flood of great memories of Uncle George and Aunt Helen and Adam and visits to CBS as a kid and teenager. We will be thinking of you all and sending our love this week and always. Love, Karen and James Evans

Our condolences to the family. Mr. Evans was a wonderful teacher and very respected (or feared). He didn't put up with any foolishness in the classroom. I always remember him walking into the classroom, laying his books on the desk, and saying "this must be the W5 Class, We Won't Work Will We. We still chuckle at that to this day. Rest in Peace Mr. Evans Ron and Brenda Haines

The Evans Family Thinking of you all today as you celebrate the wonderful life that was your Dad/husband, Mr Evans, and offering condolences on behalf of our Dawe family with our Mom, Abbie. His obituary was a pleasure to read, a glimpse of the man he was to so many, but especially to you his loved ones. Our Dad, Eric held him in high regard and I think it was a mutual respect built on common values of education, family and community. That is Mr. Evans legacy and he will be remembered fondly as an educator and a gentleman. It was my honor to have our paths cross yet again. Sincerely, Loretta (Dawe) O'Brien and family

Michelle and family, What a full and busy life captured beautifully in his obituary. Everybody respected “Mr. Evans”...he was kind and fair...but make no mistake, he expected us to be at our personal best! That word “engaged” was him all over! You could tell he was engaged in life even by the spring in his step! Rip Mr Evans. A life well lived.

John Hopkins posted a condolence
I first knew George (I didn't dare call him by his first name then) when I was a student at QERHS many moons ago. He was not only my Latin teacher but also the leader of the local Army Cadets and in both capacities, when he spoke, you listened. Over the years work and travel intervened until more recently when we became reacquainted through our mutual friend, Cec Parsons, and through our mutual interest in golf. It was in the company of George and Helen that I finally accomplished the feat to which every golfer aspires, the elusive "hole-in-one". George really enjoyed golf and played right up until last year. To watch him and play with him at 90 years of age, was inspiring. As had been our recent practice, I had hoped to accompany him once again this year to our annual birthday breakfast. George, you will be missed and today our thoughts and prayers are not only for you but also with your wonderful family, Helen, Heather, Michele and Adam.

The Evans Family: We are sometimes blessed in our brief time on this earth to meet people who make a wonderful difference in the lives of others. MR. Evans was one of those people. He will be remembered with infinite memories by endless souls who he has touched in one way or another. For me, he had a quiet strength and warmth that resonated whenever we would chance to meet. He always had a smile and that gentle, quirky, laugh. He always made me/you feel special. Mind you, I never got called into the office at school! Mr. Evans you will be dearly missed. Thank you for the heartfelt memories. Michele, I luvs ya... be strong. Hug your family for me. Love Jane.

Helen Evans and family, please accept my sincere sympathy in the passing of George. I first met George when I started teaching. I joined the staff at Queen Elizabeth Regional High and George was the vice principal. I was just starting my career and George was a wonderful administrator who was approachable and helpful. I enjoyed getting to know him and missed him when he retired. I have the fondest memories of George as a family man , educator, community minded person as well as a friend to all. I’ll miss George, somehow our” Retiree breakfast “each year just won’t be the same without him. It was a true honour to have taught with him and known him as the gentleman he was. Shirley L.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Evans family. Although we are sad and will miss him very much, he will live on in our lifetime of fond memories. We will miss the conversations on every topic imaginable, and of course the stories. With an astonishing memory and talent, Mr. Evans entertained us with stories, some over 70 years old, often rich with shenanigans from his youth or with his old friends. It was not only the storytelling that made every visit enjoyable, but his ability to inspire and draw out our own story. With keen interest and some probing questions, Mr. Evans set the stage for our own story, usually starting with “now where have you folks been and what have you been up to?” He would listen to our story with rapt attention (rapt from the Latin raptus). It was not only his sense of humour that we loved; on occasions too numerous to mention, we were grateful for his compassion and support. Mr. Evans was an inspiration to us both and will always hold a very special place in our hearts and memories. Debbie (Parsons) and Gary Nagle

Night crawlers on the front lawn, picking cherries off the cherry trees, stories of the "old days", spelling bees - I still love them, vacations in Twillingate, and I could go on for hours. My heart carries a a quiet corner for him and he will be missed. Love to you all. Sherry, Keith, Aidan and Calla
