Shattuck said that Evans “really stepped up and is taking care of his father. He’s doing a fantastic job.”

“I’m going to relax,” said Evans of his retirement. “[And] help my dad out where I can.”

After 29 years at King Soopers, Evans is ready for a peaceful retirement. However, Shattuck emphasized the importance of acknowledging all of Evans’ hard work.

“He’s not one to toot his own horn,” said Shattuck, “but he deserves recognition.”
