I miss Uncle Evan very much. He stayed at my grandmother's house, which I visited frequently. I know he is now in Heaven. I have quite a few memories of Uncle Evan.

It has been my pleasure to have known Evan and the Crowe Family since I started attending Fairmount back in the 1970's. I was a member of the Choir with Evan and he carried me on the high notes many times. Evan was a true Christian gentleman, full of kindness and love for all. He was truly a "NOTEABLE" person and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Crowe family, extended family and his many friends. I can honestly say I am a better person for having known Evan Crowe. I thank all the Crowe, Beazley, Kemp, Allard, Streeter, Foxwell and other family for allowing me and my family to be part your family for many special events. We love you and also mourn the loss of Evan. God bless and I look forward to that day when I will again sing with Evan in the heavenly choir.

I have known Evan for over twenty years and enjoyed singing with him in Fairmount Christian Church choirs. He was a very good christian friend. Evan and I always kept up with each others Birthday which were two months apart. At our last Forever Young meeting we joked that I was now older than he by two months. Evan my friend I will always remember you. Smokey
