Uncle Al Evans was my mother’s older brother. My mom was a “change of life” baby and her siblings were all older than her. Mom was raised by her brothers-which probably accounted for her love of sports. All of mom’s brothers always looked out for mom.
Uncle Al lived just up the street from our house on Cassius Ave. We would stop by often and visit. Uncle Al had remarried and lived with his 2nd wife-Aunt Peg. I always remember my Uncle Al being there when mom needed anything. If it snowed, Uncle Al might come down and plow the driveway. With lots of medical bills with our family, I had always heard Uncle Al would help when he could with medical expenses. Uncle Al was known for being a dedicated Republican. Mom and my sister would often work the polling booths on Election Day for the Republican Party. It was Uncle Al who helped me get my first job with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office.
He will always be remembered by me as a caring, loving uncle and someone who would do anything for family. Rest in peace Uncle Al. I love you.
