It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Robert Walter Evans on March 1, 2021. He was a friend, a Husband, a Father, a Grandfather, and a Great Grandfather, but also a man of mystery. In the end, all we are, are stories, and he definitely had many.

Robert (Bob or Walt) was born in Vancouver, B.C. on October 26, 1928 to William Henry Evans and Isabel Evans. His early childhood was typical, but as a teenager his rebellious genes came in full swing.

Then, as many young men at the time were wont to do, he joined the Canadian Merchant Marines. Serving on Princess Louise and the S.S. Selkirk Park, he travelled from the west coast through the Panama Canal and Caribbean. During his travels and among many unmentionable adventures, he got tattoos and dental work, both dubious in nature – On November 7, 1945 he was discharged in Vancouver, B.C. He joined the B.C. Government in 1947/48 and worked in the Motor Vehicle Branch where it is rumored that he was prone to hassling anyone vain enough to care about the picture on their driver’s license. Those stories and many more about Driving Exams kept many people laughing for years.  He loved to tell them to anyone that would listen.  He also had many stories to tell of when he was a Marriage Commissioner for 15 years.
