His family wishes to express a very special thank you to Marilyn (D'Andrea) Evans, his niece, who remembered him every holiday with a card of blessings and love, which would bring him such joy. His family would also like to extend a very special thank you to his aides and nurses at The Gardens in Tunkhannock for their caring and thoughtfulness, especially to Kelly Caines, whom he loved and thought the world of, she is a very special person and we were blessed by her love and kindness.
