Roadside rescuer gone to great reward

Bob Evans, of Bob Evans Farms, purveyor of edible food, has left this earthly plane. Not surprisingly, it was over-the-road truckers who, by word of mouth endorsements, helped promote his early success. For travelers, breakfasts by Bob Evans, incorporating biscuits and that very decent sausage, were a reliable morning fueling choice. These places were a welcome sight at other times of the day, too, of course. Otherwise, for me, a person who hates fast-food hamburgers, only French fries and, in some parts of the country, catfish restaurants or ice-cream joints could provide sustenance that would not turn the stomach of a person like me. The Bob Evans establishments have always been open decently early in the morning, too.
