Wife buries her ‘soul mate’ as crash victim laid to rest

A FORMER seaman killed in the Cork plane crash was loyal and dedicated to his family, his funeral has heard.

Captain Kevin Allen addressed crowds of mourners at the Sinclair Seamen’s Presbyterian church in Belfast’s docklands where Capt Evans’ wife and four children, Darren, Dean, Rebecca and Jordan, led mourners.

Capt Evans, a gruff-talking and hard-working ex-deep sea mariner, 51, from Hartlepool, was one of six killed in the accident in thick fog at Cork Airport last Thursday on a flight from Belfast.
