Thank you for all the well wishes. To me he was just my Dad and I loved him dearly and will miss him so much. It has been heart-warming to hear the way he touched so many other lives as well – expecially those in the St Andrews community where he lived and those who followed his career.

A sad loss to Australia but I would like to correct your article slightly. Reg Evans was a Welsh and not English migrant and extremely proud of his Welsh roots. He was even a member of the Welsh political party Plaid Cymru and the tragic passing of him and his partner was mentioned in both the Welsh media and in the party’s internal newapaper.

Tony Schmidt, Graham Watt and I both worked with Reg when he came to Australia back in the late 1950′s in Maryborough at Radio 4MB. He was a very talented guy and one of the radio shows that we did which was Reg’s idea was “With a Smile and a Song” comedy and music. Reg also wrote a song called The Wog and one day i played a tape of it to Reg Lindsay while he was on a visit to Maryborough. Some months later it was released as a 45 rpm record. In winter when radio reception was good Reg and I used to dial-twiddle to see if we could find a radio station playing The Wog. I think we heard it once. Ten years ago I was compere of a Local Government Dinner in Bundaberg and Reg’s former wife Jean came over to me and we had a chat about our 4MB days Jean was a councillor on the Dalby Council. Reg lived life to the fullest and was a fun guy to be with.

Reg was a great friend of my in-laws Gordon and Ruby Pevitt before their deaths, and as such I also got to know him as a great guy, a fun fella and someone to be trusted. He was my father-in-law’s confidante many times over the years and was also there for me at a time in my life when I needed someone to listen.
RIP Reg .. there’s no way you will be forgotten, how could you be with the wonderful screen legacies you have left. Our sympathy to Reg’s family and to his partners family, you have lost someone precious.. from Yvonne and Lisa

Very, very sad to hear. I’ve seen Reg’s performance in Mad Max countless times, along with his parts in Stone and Mad Dog Morgan. My condolences to his family and friends.

So sorry to have this tragic news confirmed. I first saw Reg on stage in King Lear in 1978 and he lived in the area where I grew up. I often saw him in the local area as well as on-screen. My sympathies to all who knew and loved Reg and his partner.

I’ve seen Reg Evans in many things over the years.

He was one of those character actors that you knew you’d seen him somewhere before but could never remember where.

A tragic loss in a massive tragedy.

Vale Reg – your legacy will live on in the above tv shows.

My condolences to his and his wife’s family. Certainly had a marvellous career looking at his credits. Can’t say I’ve seen him in anything I’ve watched before though.
