William Evans Obituary

William "Bill" L. Evans, Jr. 1937 - 2012 On October 31, 2012 Bill went home to be with the Lord. He has left an enormous void in the lives of all of us who have known and loved him. He was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal carcinoid syndrome cancer in 2002 at Sansum Clinic, Santa Barbara. He was involved in 2 clinical drug trials with Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center under the treatment of Dr. Edward Wolin and staff. We decided to stop treatment and let Jesus rescue him from all his suffering. Bill is survived by his wife Margie, daughter Catherine Levison and husband Michael, Kelley Ramsey and husband Thomas; five grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, numerous other family members. He was a member of MENSA. He tried to learn all he could about his disease, seek treatment and mentor others.
