Richard Laurence Evans

Richard Laurence Evans – age 69, of Greenwich passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Saturday, November 27, 2021, in the Valley Hospice, Kentville, after a brief battle with cancer. After graduating from Prince Andrew High School in Dartmouth, he worked briefly as an orderly at the Nova Scotia Hospital. He went on to work a number of years with Canada Post. He was a bit of a loner and went to live with his parents following retirement from the post office. He helped to take care of his grandmother in the later years of her life and did the same for his mother. Richard was predeceased by his parents, Dick and Merle (Walker) Evans; his younger brother, Robert and his niece, Courtney Fossett. He is survived by his two sisters, Lynn Fossett, Kentville; Gillian (Greg) Mitchell, Greenwich and his two nieces, Paige Fossett and Rachel (Mitchell) Tran. We would like to thank Valley Hospice for the kindness and compassion they showed Richard and to all of us, they truly made his last weeks comfortable.  Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation or funeral service, by request. Interment will take place at a later date in the Mount Denson Cemetery. Donations in Richard’s memory may be made to Valley Hospice Foundation. Arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
