4.15.20 From Hans van den Houten: Evvy and I met at Chase in our early days at the bank. I left for three years on a special assignment at MOMA in 1970, but after my return the Chase in 1973, we reconnected. Chase, as for many of us, was a great place to meet your colleagues and create friendships. Also, this connection fostered between us at the bank became a fruitful opportunity when, an executive recruiter in New York, I was looking for a candidate for the ING Bank USA to run their Energy Department. Evvy just fit the bill and he joined ING and stayed there until the financial debacle on Wall Street. We stayed in touch, and while we were not meeting in person following my retirement in 2005, Evvy literally kept me in the picture with his wonderful work as a photographer. He sent me a number of his books, just as he was, generous and informative.
    The news of his passing brought back good memories of a special colleague and fine person with great talents in his chosen field of banking, but even more so, to me personally, his fine work as a photographer. I have send a note to Elena and repeat herewith to her and his family my sincere and heartfelt condolences. May Evvy Rest in Peace!
