Evans, a New Brunswick native, came to Deep River in 1957 and worked at AECL Chalk River for 33 years as a designer.  His involvement in the Community Church began with helping to raise money to build the Christian Education Centre, and continued for nearly 20 years as a Sunday School teacher and General Superintendent.  After that, he joined the choir and has spent 30 years in the bass section.  Over the years he has chaired many church boards and committees – including Planning, Worship, Elders, Personnel, Membership, Council, Property, Stewardship and Nominating – and is now a Trustee.  Evans has worked on several constitutional revisions, employee contracts, and the new bequest policy.  He has always been a keen missions supporter, and most recently organized a barbershop concert to help pay for church organ repairs.  Evans likes the Pogo philosophy:  “don’t take life too seriously – it ain’t no how permanent!”;
