M. William C. "Bill" Evans

Long time Washington attorney and eleven year resident of Prospect Bay, William Casto “Bill” Evans died of heart failure on Saturday January 21, 2012 at the Washington Hospital Center. Born in Boston on April 1st 1939, Bill was the son of Robert and Adele Evans. He graduated from Miami Edison High School, attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and earned his law degree from UNC School of Law. In 1965, he joined the Washington law firm of Verner, Liipfert, and Bernhard where he began a career in transportation law. After many years of hard work and dedication, he became a partner in the firm and an expert in his field. In 2003, Bill retired from the firm and joined his longtime friend and co-worker as “of counsel” for the Law Office of John Mietus in Bethesda, Md. Bill and his family lived in Bethesda for thirty five years, enjoying a great community of friends and neighbors. As with any great father, he spent countless hours taking part in his children’s school and extra curricular activities. He traveled a lot for business and pleasure; enjoyed family ski trips, time spent in Ocean Pines, and loved photography. In 2000, Bill moved to Prospect Bay and enjoyed sunsets on the bay, boating, fishing and the relaxing retirement lifestyle. He spent time rooting for the UNC Tarheels, wishing the Redskins were better, and solving many crossword and Sudoku puzzles. In 2011, Bill became the Commodore of the Prospect Bay Yacht Club and worked hard to bring his great attitude to the office. Above all else, he loved his home on the water, the Prospect Bay community, his family, friends, cats and especially a good party. He is survived by Linda Evans, his loving wife of nearly fifty years; his daughter Kathryn Evans Cordon and her husband Ricardo of Arlington, VA.; his son Jeffrey Evans and his wife Melissa of Charleston, SC;, Sophia and William Cordon; Kailyn and Anden Evans; and seven nieces and nephews. His family and friends will miss him a great deal but can take pride and pleasure in knowing that they had the privilege of having such an extraordinary man in their lives. The family will receive friends at a memorial luncheon from 12:30–3 pm on Sunday, January 29 at the Prospect Bay Country Club in Grasonville, MD. No funeral will be held, however a sunset celebration of his life will take place at his home on the Chesapeake Bay at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum or the Queen Anne’s County Animal Services.
