Born in Canada, Mr. Evesque graduated from Bryant College in Smithfield, R.I., with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

From the 1960s to the mid-1970s he worked in the sales department at Seaquist in Cary. He later joined Cap and Seal Co. in Elgin and became its vice president of sales. He retired in 1997. Mr. Evesque could make anyone laugh, even in difficult situations, his daughter Lori said.
